Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of pain when swallowing, noticed difficulty in swallowing, and had a slight fever with lack of energy. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis accompanied by crying and distress?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. For regional treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation is recommended. If the pain is severe, some painkillers can be given. For children with fever symptoms, medications with antipyretic effects can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period, with a focus on liquid foods.
