Question
My son is 6 years old. Recently, he has felt a sore throat, which makes it uncomfortable to drink water. His voice is hoarse, and he also has a persistent low fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis with crying?
Answer
The main treatment method is to provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs based on the child’s symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, regional treatments can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, such as pus pocket irrigation and direct medication injection into the tonsils. If the child’s throat pain is severe, consider giving a moderate amount of painkillers. When fever is present, you can take antipyretics. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly if the fever is high. If the child has recurrent episodes, consider surgery after treatment to avoid recurrence. During the treatment period, make sure to provide your child with adequate nutrition, eat a light diet, rest more, and avoid fatigue.
