Question
My 6-year-old son has symptoms of tonsillitis. How should it be effectively treated?
Answer
Antibiotics are the most commonly used medication for treating tonsillitis, and systemic or regional treatment options include tonsil crypt irrigation or intravenous medication. If there are symptoms of sore throat, painkillers can be considered to relieve the symptoms. If there is a fever, a suitable amount of antipyretic medication can be used. If the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is necessary to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
