Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, accompanied by a mild cough, and has been running a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s sore throat and tonsillitis for the best effect?
Answer
In treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication to reinforce the efficacy. Painkillers can be administered orally if necessary, and fever-reducing drugs can be given for feverish conditions. If symptoms cannot be relieved, medical attention must be sought. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, special attention should be paid to keeping the child warm to avoid exacerbating symptoms.
