Question
My son is 9 years old, and he has recently been experiencing sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a low-grade fever. It might be tonsillitis. How should we effectively treat it?
Answer
Currently, the primary treatment for a child’s tonsillitis involves the use of antibiotic medications, which can also be selected based on the sensitivity of the pathogenic bacteria for treatment. Regional treatments such as irrigation, injection, and laser therapy can also be considered. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be considered, along with fever-reducing medications as needed. If the condition does not improve or recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. Parents should pay attention to this condition, seek medical treatment as early as possible, and pay attention to preventive measures and health care in their daily lives.
