Question
My son is 5 years old. Initially, he felt pain in his throat when drinking water. I noticed that when he speaks, his voice is a bit hoarse, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with crying and distress?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give your child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. If the child continues to have a fever, apply antipyretics promptly; if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used. If the child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
