Question
My son is 5 years old. Initially, he had a sore throat while speaking, with a slightly hoarse voice, accompanied by a slight fever. How can I treat his tonsillitis pain to achieve the best results?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used for treatment, along with regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection medications. If there is a sore throat, painkillers can be administered. For fever, choose a cooling method based on body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used, while oral fever-reducing medication is recommended for temperatures above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
