Question
My son is 3 years old. He just started to have a little pain in his throat, and I noticed that he’s coughing more severely as well. He also has a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and sore throat for the best effect?
Answer
In treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, undergo regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil intramuscular injections, and consider painkillers if the symptoms are primarily sore throat. If the child has a fever, they can take antipyretics in moderation. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. Pay attention to a light diet, and mainly consume fluids during treatment.
