Question
A 3-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms such as throat pain, hoarseness, fever, and lack of energy. Diagnosed with tonsillitis, how should one effectively treat this condition to alleviate the child’s discomfort?
Answer
For treating children’s tonsillitis, one can first consider administering anti-inflammatory medication and, depending on the situation, use regional sprays or laser therapy. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered in moderation. For persistent fever, timely use of fever-reducing medication is recommended. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. These are common treatment measures. However, if tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider early surgical treatment. During the treatment process, it is important to provide the child with light meals and to enhance nutritional intake to aid in their early recovery.
