Question
A boy, already 1 year old, started saying that he felt pain when swallowing, and it seemed a bit difficult to swallow. He also had a slight fever and seemed lackluster. How should tonsillitis pain in children be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or medication injection. For symptoms primarily of throat pain, consider painkillers. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment process, it is important to ensure a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help promote recovery as soon as possible.
