Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy, and he recently has been experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and fever. How should I effectively treat his pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used for regional treatment, including tonsil washing, drug injections, and laser therapy. If the sore throat symptoms are severe, it is recommended to consider giving painkillers to relieve pain. If there is fever, you can take antipyretic medication. It is suggested to seek medical attention as soon as possible if there is a high fever. In cases of long-term recurrence, surgery may be considered. Parents should pay attention to keeping warm and preventing colds from triggering a second inflammation.
