Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently started feeling a sore throat, with difficulty swallowing and persistent fever. What is the best way to treat a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
For such cases, it is generally recommended that the child take anti-inflammatory medication and follow regional treatment methods as prescribed by a doctor, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. If the fever persists, a small amount of antipyretic medication can be taken, but if the fever does not subside, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment can also be considered. After the condition improves, it is suggested that the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
