Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy. He just started saying that drinking water feels painful in his throat. He also has a severe cough and a bit of a fever, and he seems listless. What should be done to effectively treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to relieve the inflammatory symptoms in their child, and consider regional drug sprays or laser therapy. For throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken, and if the high fever persists, medical attention should be sought promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to undergo surgery early on. Parents should pay attention to the disease and take their child to the doctor early, while also focusing on prevention and health care.
