Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed he had a slight cough as well. He also has a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. How should I treat his tonsillitis and the resulting swelling?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. If there is also a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken. For high fevers, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These methods are currently among the more common treatments for tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is also important to maintain good hygiene in diet and ensure sufficient rest time.
