Question

My child is a 6-year-old boy. He has been experiencing a sore throat while speaking, accompanied by a slight cough and a bit of fever, as well as a lack of energy. How can I effectively treat his sore throat and swollen tonsils?

Answer

Generally, for children with tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be effective. In addition, regional use of medication sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers according to the situation. For children with fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. If the condition is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis often has a tendency to recur, and if similar symptoms appear after treatment, surgery may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
