Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that his coughing seemed more severe, and also seemed to have a persistent low fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis pain be treated?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be chosen appropriately. If the child’s condition is severe, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to relieve symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. During treatment, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
