Question
My son is 4 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, accompanied by slight coughing. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should I treat his sore throat caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance for their child, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. If the child’s condition is more severe, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child primarily experiences sore throat, parents can consider giving some painkillers to relieve the discomfort.
