Question
My 7-year-old son is experiencing symptoms of tonsillitis, including sore throat, slight cough, and high fever. How should I treat him?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered for treatment. In severe cases, regional therapy can be considered, such as cleaning the tonsillar cavity and injecting medication. If the throat pain is severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to relieve symptoms; if there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. Severe cases should be treated promptly. For those with frequent severe acute attacks or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents are advised to pay attention to this disease, take their children for medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
