Question
A nine-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms of throat pain, mild cough, fever, and lack of energy. He has been diagnosed with tonsillitis. What treatment should be considered for this type of throat pain?
Answer
The treatment for throat pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis typically involves following the doctor’s prescription for anti-inflammatory medication. Regional treatments can include laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be administered as needed. For fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken, and in severe cases, immediate medical attention should be sought. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the doctor’s recommendation. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to aid in a quick recovery from the illness.
