Question
My 5-year-old son has recently started experiencing a sore throat while speaking, severe coughing, and a slight fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis-induced throat pain for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
In the medical field, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily depends on antibiotic medications, which can be selected based on the sensitivity of the bacteria, with good effects. For regional therapy, it is recommended to consider laser therapy or medication irrigation; if the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. Some children may experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing drugs can be taken. If symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. If a child frequently experiences this condition, surgery may be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. It is advisable for parents to pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment early, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in daily life.
