Question
A boy, already 1 year old, is experiencing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and currently has a persistent high fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis pain be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication are the primary methods for treating a child’s tonsillitis. Parents can choose medications based on the symptoms, and can also consider regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation and injections. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be considered; if there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be used. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention early. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is necessary to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
