Question
My son is 5 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and his voice was a bit hoarse during speech. He has also been running a slight fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis for the best effect?
Answer
You can appropriately administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition to systemic medication, you can also perform regional treatment, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection therapy. If there is a sore throat, you can also give the child some painkillers. If there is a fever, choose cooling methods based on body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius can be physically cooled, and above 38.5 degrees Celsius can take oral antipyretics. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
