Question
My son is 6 years old. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water and noticed his voice was a bit hoarse during speech. Moreover, it seems like he’s been running a low fever all the time. How should I treat my child’s crying and sore throat with tonsillitis for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
You can appropriately administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. You can also consider regional treatments, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar drug injections. In cases of throat pain, you can also give your child some painkillers. If there is also a fever, you can take some antipyretic drugs. In case of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the illness is controlled to avoid recurrence. During the treatment period, also pay attention to maintaining good hygiene in diet and ensuring sufficient rest time.
