Question
My son is 8 years old and has started experiencing pain in his throat when speaking, with a noticeable cough and low-grade fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis and sore throat effectively?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is first advisable to consider using symptomatic antibiotic medications. Regional treatment may include laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. If the child has a slight fever, it should be appropriately reduced. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. These are common treatment methods, but if the tonsillitis recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment, and also pay attention to diet, hygiene, and rest.
