Question
A 10-year-old boy, attending elementary school, initially complained of pain while swallowing, accompanied by severe coughing, slight fever, and lack of energy. How should one effectively treat crying caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication are the main methods used in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents should choose the appropriate medication based on their child’s specific symptoms. For children with more severe symptoms, consider combining local treatment options such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection medications. For children with pronounced throat pain, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. If a child has a fever, a reasonable amount of antipyretic medication can be administered, but if the fever persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. For cases that frequently recur, after controlling the condition, surgical treatment can be considered to avoid repeated episodes.
