Question
My child is a 9-year-old boy. He has recently been experiencing a sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment methods for children’s tonsillitis include: selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, regional treatment such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication, administration of painkillers to relieve throat pain, and oral antipyretics for fever. If symptoms cannot be alleviated, medical assistance should be sought. In severe cases, tonsillectomy may be necessary. It is also important to pay attention to proper diet and rest arrangements to aid recovery.
