Question
A 9-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of a sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and had been running a low fever. How should one treat the pain caused by the child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s advice for symptomatic treatment, while also undergoing regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intravenous medication injection, and laser therapy. If the main symptom is throat pain, consider using painkillers; if the child has a slight fever, appropriate fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment can also be considered. During treatment, pay attention to a light diet, and consume mainly liquid foods.
