Question
The boy is 2 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and he has been experiencing severe coughing. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis pain be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose treatments based on symptoms. Regional treatments are recommended to include laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be administered as needed. If the child still has a fever, fever reducers can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe cases or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after two weeks of acute inflammation subsiding. During treatment, it’s important to ensure adequate nutrition for the child, maintain a light diet, get plenty of rest, and avoid fatigue.
