Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and a low-grade fever. How should one treat the discomfort caused by infant and toddler tonsillitis?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, consider giving some painkillers. For children with fever symptoms, some antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For those with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. Also, pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue.
