Question
My son is 9 years old. Initially, he said he felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed he had a slight cough and has been a bit feverish. How should I treat my child’s sore throat with tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Besides systemic medication, regional treatment can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to give some painkillers according to the situation. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretics can be taken. In case of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Apart from these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
