Question

My 6-year-old son has contracted tonsillitis. How should it be treated?

Answer

It is recommended to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt cleaning or regional injections can be considered. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If there is a persistent fever, it should be addressed promptly or medical attention should be sought. For recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, surgery may be considered, and during the treatment period, it is important to maintain good health and adequate rest.
