Question
My son is 3 years old. Initially, he said he had a sore throat, and I noticed that he was coughing quite severely, and he has had a slight fever as well. How should a child with swollen tonsils and pharyngitis be diagnosed and treated?
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 child has a particularly sore throat, painkillers can be given as needed. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is also advisable to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, it is also important to pay attention to arranging reasonable dietary and lifestyle habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
