Question
My son is 3 years old. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water, and I noticed that he was coughing quite severely. He also had a low-grade fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be selected appropriately. Additionally, regional treatments can be considered, including tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. In cases of sore throat, painkillers can be administered to the child. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also give fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. These methods are among the commonly used treatments for tonsillitis. Moreover, surgery is also a viable option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. Finally, I hope that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children for medical treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, it is also important to pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures.
