Question
My son is 3 years old. Recently, he has started to feel a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever. How should a child’s sore throat due to tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the symptoms, and regional treatment methods such as tonsil irrigation or drug injections can be considered. For cases primarily presenting with throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be used to alleviate the pain. If the child continues to have a fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the child frequently experiences this condition, after the treatment is stable, surgery can be considered to prevent recurrence. After the condition improves, it is recommended that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity.
