Question
My son is 5 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, and fever. How should I effectively treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating this kind of illness, consider using symptomatic antibiotic medications, performing local irrigation or spraying, or injecting symptomatic medications into the tonsils. If the main symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be considered; if there is persistent fever, use antipyretic medication or seek medical attention. Additionally, surgery is one of the treatment options for children with recurrent episodes. Parents should keep their children warm in everyday life to prevent colds from triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
