Question
A 9-year-old boy has recently been suffering from a sore throat, severe cough, and persistent high fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
It is recommended to follow the doctor’s orders for symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication for the child. Regional treatments such as tonsil lavage and injections can also be considered. For sore throat symptoms, it is suggested to administer painkillers as needed to relieve discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever, use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If symptoms persist after acute inflammation subsides, it is advisable to consider tonsillectomy after two weeks. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
