Question

My son is 9 years old and has recently started experiencing a sore throat, cough, and low-grade fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis?

Answer

During treatment, you can provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. Regional treatments may include medication sprays or laser therapy. If the child has severe throat pain, oral painkillers can be administered, and fever-reducing medication can be given for fever. If the symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to seek medical assistance. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. After recovery, it is suggested to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
