Question
A six-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and low-grade fever, suspected to have tonsillitis. How should effective treatment be carried out?
Answer
Tonsillitis is relatively common in children, and the main treatment methods include the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on the doctor’s advice. In addition, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can also be considered as treatment options. If the pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. Some children may have a fever, in which case fever-reducing medication can be used. If symptoms do not subside, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Parents should pay attention to this disease, take their children to the doctor early, and do a good job of prevention and health care in daily life.
