Question
My child has tonsillitis and is in pain. He is a 9-year-old boy. He just started having throat pain when drinking water, and his throat feels a bit tight, accompanied by a low fever.
Answer
For this situation, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Consider systemic or regional treatment, such as cleaning the tonsil crypts or injecting medication. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used to relieve symptoms. If there is a fever, it can be appropriately reduced; if it exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after treatment, while also paying attention to providing light meals and enhancing nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
