Question
My 7-year-old son has been experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent high fever recently. I would like to ask for advice on how to treat a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the doctor’s recommendation, and also perform local treatments such as rinsing or applying medication to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and if there is a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, and after controlling the inflammation, surgery can be considered as a treatment option. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement nutrition, maintain a light diet, get adequate rest, and avoid overexertion.
