Question
My child is an 8-year-old boy. He initially complained of a sore throat and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. It seems like he has been running a low fever all the time. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis effectively when he is crying and restless?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose the appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate the inflammatory symptoms in their child. If the child’s condition is severe, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections can be considered. In cases where the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the medication is not effective and there are repeated occurrences, surgical treatment may be recommended. During treatment, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
