Question

A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been experiencing a sore throat, cough, and fever. He inquires about the treatment for tonsillitis-related throat pain.

Answer

The current common treatment for tonsillitis involves the use of antibiotic medications, and regional cleaning or spray treatments can also be considered, even administering appropriate medication through tonsil injections, which can be effective. If the main symptom is a sore throat, painkillers can be considered; if the child continues to have a fever, timely use of fever-reducing medication is recommended. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be considered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
