Question
A 4-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, cough, fever, and lack of energy, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat the condition to alleviate discomfort?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, it is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammation. At the same time, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, analgesics can be administered. If there is a fever, antipyretics can be used as needed, but if the fever persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and increases their intake of vegetables and fruits.
