Question
My son is 3 years old and has recently been experiencing sore throat, cough, and low fever. His tonsillitis is quite painful. What is the best way to treat it?
Answer
For treating a child’s tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the symptoms. In severe cases, regional treatment methods such as cleaning the tonsillar cavity or injecting medication may be used. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered, and fever-reducing medication can be used in moderation when feverish. However, if the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition, surgery is also an option for children with recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to strengthen their immune system and prevent recurrence.
