Question
My 6-year-old son is experiencing throat pain while speaking, difficulty swallowing, and persistent low fever. How should I treat his pediatric tonsillitis-induced throat pain?
Answer
It is advised for parents to choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Regional treatments can consider laser therapy or medication irrigation, and painkillers can be used to relieve throat pain. If there is fever, physical or oral fever-reducing medication can be used. If the condition recurs frequently, surgery can be considered to avoid recurrence. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement nutrition, pay attention to light diet, and ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
