Question
A boy, 4 years old, has just started experiencing pain when swallowing water. He also has a severe cough, and it seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should a young child’s tonsillitis pain be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, the first step is to use symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child’s condition is severe, regional treatment methods can also be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. It is recommended to provide appropriate painkillers based on the situation. If the child has fever symptoms, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to undergo surgery early. After the condition improves, it is suggested to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
