Question
A nine-year-old girl is experiencing throat pain, mild cough, and low-grade fever, suspected of tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat the pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are commonly used in clinical practice, and the appropriate medication can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture, with good effects. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can also be effective options. If there is a sore throat, painkillers can be considered. When there is persistent fever, parents should administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider early surgery. During treatment, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid overexertion.
