Question
A 7-year-old girl is experiencing a sore throat, feeling uncomfortable when drinking water, hoarse voice, and is accompanied by a persistent fever. How should one treat the crying caused by tonsillitis in children to achieve good results?
Answer
The first step in treating pediatric tonsillitis is to administer appropriate anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. Regional treatments can include laser therapy or medication rinses. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. For fever symptoms, medications with antipyretic effects can be taken. If the condition is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis may recur frequently; if the situation persists, surgical treatment can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, eat a light diet, and get plenty of rest, avoiding overexertion.
