Question
My son is 7 years old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and he has been experiencing more severe coughing. Additionally, he has had a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and sore throat for the best effect?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child under a doctor’s guidance, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In terms of regional treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is suggested. If the main symptom is sore throat, some painkillers can be considered. If the child has a fever, some antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can also consider surgical treatment under the doctor’s advice. Furthermore, parents should pay attention to keeping their child warm in daily life to prevent catching a cold and triggering another tonsillitis episode.
