Question
My son is 6 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking. I noticed that he has a more severe cough and a bit of fever, and he seems lackluster. Please ask: How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis that is very painful?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. You can also complement this with regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are also effective. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a fever, it should be considered for antipyretic treatment. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is also important to arrange for a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
