Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially experienced throat pain when speaking, felt difficulty in swallowing, and had a low-grade fever. Inquiry: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injection therapy, and laser treatment can be considered. If there is throat pain, painkillers can be given. If there is a persistent fever, antipyretic medication can be administered or the child should be taken to the hospital immediately. If the child repeatedly experiences inflammation, surgical treatment may also be considered. It is advised that parents pay attention and seek medical assistance as soon as possible, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
