Question
My 8-year-old son first experienced a sore throat when speaking, followed by more severe coughing. Now, he has a persistent high fever that doesn’t seem to go away. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and sore throat to achieve the best results?
Answer
Treatment for a child’s tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, or adopting regional treatment methods such as tonsil washing and internal injections. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered in moderation; if there is persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. These methods are among the commonly used treatments for tonsillitis. If the child has recurrent episodes, surgery can also be a viable option. It is recommended that parents take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for the child as soon as possible, and also take appropriate preventive and health care measures in daily life.
