Question
My 7-year-old son started experiencing a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and slight fever. How can tonsillitis-related throat pain in children be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
Treatment for this condition includes using appropriate antibiotic medications, and can also involve regional treatment methods such as tonsil lavage and injection drugs, which are effective. Depending on the child’s specific condition, painkillers can be considered to alleviate severe throat pain, and antipyretic medications can be used to manage fever symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. After controlling the disease, consider surgical treatment to avoid recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a preference for light meals and plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
