Question
A 7-year-old boy, in elementary school, reported a sore throat at the beginning and noticed that his coughing seemed more severe. He also had a low-grade fever. How should pain from pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, regional therapy such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections, and the administration of pain relievers as needed. In cases of low-grade fever, physical cooling can be used to lower temperature; if the temperature exceeds 38.5°, immediate medical attention is required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage the child in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
