Question
A 4-year-old boy has recently been experiencing severe sore throat and coughing, accompanied by a low-grade fever. What are effective treatment methods for a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with tonsillitis, you can initially treat it with antibiotic medications. You may also consider regional cleaning or spraying, or even injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be considered, and fever-reducing medication should be used when there is a persistent fever. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be considered. If the medication treatment is ineffective and symptoms recur, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
