Question
How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis, which is very painful?
Answer
For treatment, it is first advisable to provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. While taking the medication, one can also perform some localized treatments, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to consolidate the effect of treatment. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers may be appropriately administered. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. It is also necessary to ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
