Question
A 5-year-old boy has recently been experiencing throat pain, a hoarse voice, and fever. How should one treat his tonsillitis-induced throat pain?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic medications can be used for treatment. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil washes or injectable drugs may be considered. For children with significant throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If there is a fever, cooling methods can be chosen based on the body temperature. Surgery is also a viable option for treating recurrent episodes in children. Additionally, during the treatment period, attention should be paid to a light diet, with a focus on liquid foods.
