Question
My son is 4 years old, and he has recently been suffering from throat pain along with a slight cough and fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis-induced throat pain?
Answer
If your child has tonsillitis, you can initially treat it with appropriate antibiotic medication. Additionally, you may consider regional treatments such as tonsil washing, regional drug injections, and laser therapy. For the main symptom of throat pain, parents can administer painkillers in moderation to relieve the discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If the child frequently experiences inflammation, surgery may also be considered. During the treatment period, please pay attention to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensure that the child gets enough rest time.
