Question
My 3-year-old son has tonsillitis. How should it be treated? He has a sore throat, severe coughing, and a persistent low fever.
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is first recommended to use the necessary antibiotic medications, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsil washing or injection drugs. If the child has severe throat pain, it is suggested to take painkillers to relieve the symptoms, and for fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly as tonsillitis can easily recur. If the situation is similar, after the inflammation is controlled, surgery can be considered as a treatment option. After recovery, it is recommended to allow the child to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
