Question
My son is 3 years old. He just started saying that his throat hurts, and I noticed that his coughing seems more severe. Additionally, he has a persistent high fever that doesn’t seem to go away. How should I treat my child’s sore throat due to tonsillitis for the best effect?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For regional treatment, it is suggested to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the child has severe throat pain, some painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a high fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. These methods are currently among the most commonly used for treating tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. During treatment, it is also important to arrange for a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
