Question
A 7-year-old boy is experiencing swallowing pain, hoarseness, fever, and lack of energy. Diagnosed with tonsillitis, what are effective treatment methods for the pain in a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, medications with anti-inflammatory effects can be chosen under the guidance of a physician, and combined with regional therapies such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication. If the child primarily complains of throat pain, consider administering a moderate amount of pain relief medication to alleviate discomfort. For fever, appropriate antipyretics can be used, but if persistent high fever persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. Tonsillitis may recur; if the condition persists, surgical treatment can be considered after inflammation control. During treatment, it is important to maintain warmth and avoid catching a cold to worsen symptoms.
