Question
My 8-year-old son has a sore throat, severe cough, and fever. How can I effectively treat his swollen tonsils?
Answer
Firstly, treat the child’s symptoms with appropriate anti-inflammatory medications. It is recommended to consider laser therapy or medication irrigation for regional treatment. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered; if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. If the high fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consider surgical treatment, while ensuring the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
