Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been feeling a sore throat and his voice is somewhat hoarse, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should tonsillitis in children be treated for pain?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis includes administering anti-inflammatory medications to the child, performing local cleaning or spraying, and can also involve injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils. If the child experiences severe throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, use fever-reducing medication promptly. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, consider physical cooling methods. If this condition occurs frequently, consider surgical treatment after the treatment to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining food hygiene and ensuring the child has enough rest time.
