Question

How should a child with tonsillitis and throat pain be diagnosed and treated?

Answer

To effectively treat tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, or consider regional treatments such as laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, parents can give appropriate painkillers to alleviate symptoms. In case of low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to undergo surgery early. Parents need to pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent recurrence of inflammation.
