Question
My 4-year-old son claims his throat hurts, accompanied by coughing and fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis and crying?
Answer
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, administer suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can be considered. If throat pain is the primary symptom, painkillers may be considered. If there is a persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be used as appropriate, but if the fever persists, medical attention should be sought promptly. If symptoms recur frequently, it is advisable to consider early surgical treatment while also paying attention to maintaining good dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
