Question
My son is 6 years old and has been suffering from a sore throat, dry throat, and low-grade fever for the past few days. How should I correctly treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
You can choose the appropriate antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medication under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate the inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, consider regional drug sprays or laser therapy. Painkillers can be administered if the child’s throat pain is severe; if there is a persistent fever, apply fever-reducing medication promptly. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, physical cooling methods can be considered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. Parents should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent a recurrence of tonsillitis.
