Question
My 9-year-old boy started with a sore throat, followed by severe coughing, and now he has a persistent high fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments can be considered, such as tonsil washing, injection of medications, or laser treatment. If there is throat pain, painkillers can be administered; for fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If the child has frequent attacks, consider surgery after treatment to avoid recurrent episodes. At the same time, pay attention to arranging light meals, supplementing nutrition, and promoting recovery.
