Question
My son is 7 years old and has recently developed symptoms of sore throat when speaking, severe coughing, and mild fever. His spirits are also low. How can we effectively treat tonsillitis in children?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Additionally, regional medication sprays or laser therapy can be considered. For throat pain, painkillers can also be given to the child. If there is a low-grade fever, physical cooling(temperature reduction) can be performed. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment can also be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
