Question
A five-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat and severe cough, along with fever and a lack of energy. The child’s tonsils are inflamed and painful. What are effective treatment methods?
Answer
Appropriate use of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, regional application of medication sprays, or laser therapy can be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be taken; if there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. If there are multiple severe acute conditions or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is suggested to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
