Question
A 6-year-old boy has recently started experiencing throat pain while speaking, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever. How should one treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
Firstly, provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication for treatment. Regional treatments can consider laser therapy or medication irrigation, and painkillers can be administered as needed, especially to alleviate severe throat pain. If the child continues to have a fever, apply antipyretic medication promptly. Physical cooling methods can be considered when the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. For recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
