Question
A four-year-old boy is experiencing throat pain, which is particularly uncomfortable when drinking water, and his voice is hoarse. He also has a persistent high fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis pain effectively?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate the inflammation. Regional treatments such as rinsing or spraying, as well as intratonsillar injection of symptomatic medications, can also achieve good results. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. During fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken, and if the fever is high, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication treatment is ineffective and there are recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should take this disease seriously, bring their child to the doctor early, and do their best to prevent and maintain health in daily life.
