Question
A 7-year-old boy complained of pain while swallowing, with difficulty in swallowing and low-grade fever. How can we treat his tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
To achieve effective treatment for tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, along with regional rinsing or spraying, which are both effective. Injection of symptomatic medication into the tonsils is also an option, and painkillers can be administered appropriately based on whether the primary symptom is throat pain. For persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly, with physical cooling (cooling) if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery early on, while also paying attention to a balanced diet and healthy sleep habits to aid in a swift recovery from the illness.
