Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy. Initially, he experienced a sore throat while speaking, along with coughing and a low-grade fever. How should we treat tonsillitis in a crying child?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for their child, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For regional treatment, consider laser therapy or medication irrigation, and also use painkillers to relieve throat pain. If fever is present, you can take antipyretic medication. If high fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment. In addition, parents should ensure warmth and avoid catching a cold to prevent recurrence of inflammation.
