Question
A 13-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of pain when swallowing and drinking water. He also noticed that his coughing seemed more severe, and he seemed to have a persistent low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and restlessness be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow medical advice and administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Additionally, regional therapies can be considered, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injection therapy, and laser treatment. In cases where the child’s throat pain is particularly severe, painkillers can be administered. If the child still has a fever, some antipyretics can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. For children with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgery may be considered. After the condition improves, it is advisable to have the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
