Question
A 13-year-old boy, a primary school student, initially felt pain in his throat while speaking and his coughing intensified. Now he has symptoms of persistent high fever. How should one treat the severe pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis to achieve good results?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are the main methods. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on the condition and can also combine local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medications. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered in moderation; if there are fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. If symptoms are severe, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to keeping the child warm and avoiding colds that could exacerbate symptoms.
