Question
My son is 6 years old and has a sore throat with a hoarse voice. He has a persistent fever that doesn’t seem to go away. How should I treat the pain from his tonsillitis?
Answer
You can appropriately administer antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, perform regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or medication injections, and consider painkillers if the throat pain is severe. Use fever-reducing medication promptly if the fever persists. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. It is advisable to maintain a light diet and consume liquid foods mainly during treatment.
