Question
A 7-year-old boy, in elementary school, experiences pain in his throat while speaking and difficulty swallowing, with a persistent low fever. How can one effectively treat a child’s crying in the case of tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment methods include administering symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, regional treatments such as pus pocket irrigation, drug injections, or laser therapy. Painkillers can be given when the child has severe throat pain, and physical cooling methods can be used for low fever. When the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Surgery is one method of treatment for children with recurrent attacks. It is also important to ensure that the child’s diet is light and nutritious to promote a quick recovery.
