Question
A 13-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been feeling a sore throat and difficulty swallowing, along with a persistent slight fever. How should the pain of pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Currently, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly used in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on symptoms, and regional use of sprays or laser therapy can also be considered. If the throat pain is severe, consider taking a moderate amount of painkillers. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery early. After the condition improves, it is suggested to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
