Question
My son is 4 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and his voice became hoarse. Now, he has a persistent fever. How should we treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is first advisable to use symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections can be effective. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers may be appropriate. If the child still has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
