Question
A 13-year-old boy, a school-age child, has recently reported throat pain, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent high fever. How should one diagnose and treat the situation of a child’s tonsillitis pain?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications and local treatments such as tonsillectomy or direct drug injection can be used to enhance efficacy. If throat pain is severe, painkillers can be taken in moderation; for fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be taken. In serious cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment, while also paying attention to providing light meals and increasing nutritional supplementation to aid in a quick recovery.
