Question
A 13-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially felt a sore throat while speaking. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult and he seemed to have a persistent low fever. How should a child with tonsillitis pain be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose symptomatic treatment, and for regional treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. For children with fever symptoms, medications with fever-reducing effects can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment options. Lastly, I hope parents can pay attention to this disease and bring their children for treatment as soon as possible. Also, be sure to pay attention to related preventive and health care measures in daily life.
