Question
My son is 8 years old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that his coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was not very energetic. How should children’s tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
The treatment method can be tailored to the child’s symptoms, using anti-inflammatory medications or regional therapies such as laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and antipyretics can be taken when there is a fever. If the symptoms are severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention early. In addition to common treatment methods, surgery is also an option for children with recurrent episodes. Parents should pay attention to keeping their children warm in daily life to prevent colds from triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
