Question
How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
It is advised to select the appropriate medication under a doctor’s guidance to treat a child’s tonsillitis. Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be considered to alleviate inflammatory symptoms, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections of medication can also be performed. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be used in moderation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be considered, but if the fever persists, medical attention must be sought promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to maintain light eating habits and consume mainly liquid foods.
