Question
A 7-year-old boy initially experienced a slight sore throat, with a slightly hoarse voice, and continued to have a fever. How should the pain of pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Parents can choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child under the guidance of a doctor to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Regional treatments include rinsing or spraying, and medication can also be injected into the tonsils. If the throat pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be used; antipyretics should be used promptly if there is persistent fever. If the child frequently develops tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible. Maintain a light diet during the treatment period, and consume mainly liquid foods.
