Question
My 7-year-old son has recently been experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent high fever. How should we treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be used, and regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be provided, and antipyretics should be used when feverish. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly during high fever. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgery may be considered. It is advisable to maintain a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
