Question
My son is 6 years old. Initially, he said his throat hurt, and I noticed that he was coughing quite severely. He also had a slight fever and seemed listless. How should a child with sore throat and crying due to tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered, along with regional spray treatments or laser therapy. Painkillers can be used for children with obvious throat pain. If the child has a fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and consider surgery if the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery early on. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease and take their child to a doctor for treatment as soon as possible. They should also pay attention to preventive measures and health care in their daily lives.
