Question
A 13-year-old boy, a primary school student, initially experienced pain in his throat while speaking and discomfort while swallowing, accompanied by slight fever and lack of energy. How should children’s tonsillitis and sore throat be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, medication with anti-inflammatory effects can be chosen under the guidance of a doctor, and regional applications such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injection of medication can be considered. If the main symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be used. If fever is present, antipyretics should be taken, and medical attention should be sought as soon as possible in case of high fever. In addition to medication, if the child frequently recurs inflammation, parents can consider surgical treatment under the doctor’s advice. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
