Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. He has just started to have a slight sore throat, with more severe coughing and a persistent fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give your child some symptomatic antibiotics, as well as some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used. If the child has fever symptoms, they can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are some commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
