Question
A 12-year-old boy, a primary school student, has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent fever. How should one treat crying caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis typically involves prescribed anti-inflammatory medication and may consider regional therapies such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections. If the primary symptom is throat pain, analgesics can be considered. For fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken, and in cases of high fever, medical attention should be sought promptly. These are common treatment methods, but if tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
