Question
My son is 4 years old and has just started saying he has a sore throat. I noticed he’s been coughing quite severely, and he also has a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis effectively and when should I seek help?
Answer
If your child has tonsillitis, the first step is to use targeted antibiotic medications. In addition, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child’s primary symptom is throat pain, parents can consider giving some painkillers for relief. If there is a fever, antipyretics can be taken in moderation. However, if the fever persists, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this, consider surgery after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is recommended to engage your child in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent future outbreaks.
