Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy. Initially, he said his throat was sore, and I noticed he had a slight cough and a bit of fever with lack of energy. How should I treat my child’s sore throat due to tonsillitis?
Answer
For a better treatment of tonsillitis, it is recommended to choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and regional treatments can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, it is suggested to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If the child keeps running a fever, parents should also give some fever-reducing medication, or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help recover as soon as possible.
