Question
How should one treat a child’s sore throat caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
For treatment, first, provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments can be administered, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injection, and laser therapy. Under the condition of throat pain, painkillers can also be given to the child. If the child continues to have a fever, apply antipyretic medication promptly. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. These are all relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
