Question
The boy is 11 years old and in elementary school. Initially, he said he felt pain when swallowing, and it was discovered that his voice was a bit hoarse during speech, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should children’s tonsillitis and sore throat be treated effectively?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer some anti-inflammatory medication to the child. While undergoing systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy, including methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the child has a particularly sore throat, some painkillers can be administered as needed. If the child has a slight fever, it should be treated accordingly. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are some commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
