Question
My son is 6 years old. Initially, he felt pain in his throat when drinking water. I noticed that he had a slight cough and a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s 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. For regional treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation is suggested. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the child has a fever, consider antipyretic measures. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can also choose surgery for treatment under a doctor’s guidance. Lastly, I hope parents can pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related prevention and health care measures in their daily lives.
