Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse during conversation, and it seemed like he had a low-grade fever that never went away. What should be done to treat a child’s tonsillitis effectively while they are crying?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. Additionally, regional medication sprays or laser therapy can be considered, especially if the child’s sore throat symptoms are severe. It is recommended to use some painkillers to alleviate symptoms, and if there is also a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken. In case of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period, and consume mainly liquid foods.
