Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. Initially, he felt pain when swallowing water, and I noticed that his coughing seemed more severe, and he has had a slight fever. What should I do if my child has tonsillitis, which is quite painful?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be chosen appropriately. For regional treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child’s throat pain is particularly severe, some painkillers may be prescribed to relieve symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, attention should also be paid to providing the child with a reasonable diet and sleep habits to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
