Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been experiencing throat pain and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a slight fever. What should be done to treat his tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s orders to administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child, and regional treatments such as tonsil washing or regional injections can also be considered. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered as needed. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be considered, but if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
