Question
A nine-year-old boy is suffering from tonsillitis, accompanied by throat pain, slight coughing, and low-grade fever. How should one handle the pain caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, it is recommended to use anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and consider regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication to enhance efficacy. If throat pain is the primary symptom, parents may consider giving painkillers to relieve discomfort. In case of fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken; if body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. Tonsillitis may recur; if the condition persists, surgical treatment may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, a light diet should be arranged and nutritional supplementation strengthened to aid in early recovery.
