Question
My son is 4 years old. Initially, he had a sore throat, severe coughing, and a bit of fever with a lack of energy. How can tonsillitis be treated effectively, as it is quite painful?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are currently the most common treatment for tonsillitis and can be chosen appropriately. Regional lavage or regional spraying can also be considered, as well as injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils, which are all effective treatments. If the child has throat pain, some painkillers can be considered; if there is a persistent fever, it is advisable to use antipyretic drugs. Physical cooling methods can be considered if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. These are all relatively common treatment methods. If the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider early surgery. At the same time, it is also important to pay attention to giving the child a light diet, enhancing nutritional supplementation, and helping them recover quickly.
