Question
A five-year-old girl is experiencing throat pain, which is especially uncomfortable when drinking water, accompanied by severe coughing, fever, and lack of energy. How should one treat the severe pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis typically includes symptomatic administration of anti-inflammatory medications, and local spray medications or laser therapy may be considered. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers may be given as needed. If fever persists, a small amount of fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider early surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to arrange for light meals and enhance nutritional supplementation to promote recovery.
