Question
My 7-year-old son has recently been suffering from a sore throat and frequent fever, along with severe coughing. How should I treat his tonsillitis and sore throat effectively?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Laser therapy or medication irrigation can also be considered. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be considered, and antipyretics can be used if there is a fever. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective, surgery may be recommended. Additionally, parents should ensure their child stays warm to avoid catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
