Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed he had a slight cough along with it. He has also had a mild fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis and sore throat effectively?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, and regional treatment methods can be combined, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are also effective. If the child’s sore throat is severe, it is recommended to give some painkillers. If the child has a fever, medications with fever-reducing effects can be taken; in severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period, and consume mainly liquid foods.
