Question
My child is a 9-year-old boy. He initially felt a sore throat while speaking and noticed difficulty in swallowing. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis and swelling?
Answer
In treating tonsillitis, consider administering appropriate antibiotic medications to the child, along with regional therapy such as tonsil crypt irrigation, medication injections, and laser treatment. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be given appropriately, and cooling methods should be selected based on body temperature. If the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, pay attention to a light diet, primarily consisting of fluids, and avoid eating spicy and spicy foods.
