Question

My child is four years old and has a sore throat, cough, and a persistent fever. How should I handle the tonsillitis?

Answer

When a child has tonsillitis, the first choice of treatment is to use antibiotic medications, and regional laser therapy or drug irrigation can be considered. For children with severe sore throat, painkillers can be used. If there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. If the inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is advisable to supplement nutrition, eat a light diet, and get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
