Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water, and his voice became hoarse when speaking. He also had a low-grade fever. How should we treat his tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For regional treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation may be suggested. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. If the child still has a fever, it may be advisable to take some antipyretic medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are currently among the more common treatments for tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
