Question
A 12-year-old boy, a primary school student, initially felt throat pain accompanied by a slight cough. Now he has a persistent high fever. How should children’s tonsillitis and swelling be treated for the best results?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered for systemic treatment, and regional therapy can be chosen to enhance the efficacy, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or direct tonsil injection with medication. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. If there are fever symptoms, drugs with antipyretic effects can be taken. If the symptoms are severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. For children who frequently suffer from tonsillitis, early surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
