Question
A boy, 4 years old, has recently felt a sore throat, along with coughing and a low-grade fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis and sore throat for better effectiveness?
Answer
To achieve better treatment outcomes for tonsillitis, it is advised to choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, consider regional treatment methods such as tonsil washing, regional drug injections, and laser therapy. If the child’s sore throat is severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms; if fever is present, antipyretics should be taken. If the fever persists at a high level, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If the child has recurrent episodes, after control, surgery may be considered to prevent recurrence. Meanwhile, pay attention to a reasonable diet and rest schedule, which will help in early recovery.
