Question
An eight-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, mild cough, and persistent fever, diagnosed with tonsillitis. How should crying caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated to achieve good results?
Answer
In the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, clinical practice primarily involves the use of antibiotic medications, selecting sensitive drugs based on the results of bacterial culture, which yields significant effects. In addition, administering local spray treatments or laser therapy are also effective options. If the child’s throat pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered; if the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. For recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, with a focus on light and easy-to-digest foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid overexertion.
