Question
My son is 6 years old. He just started saying he has a sore throat, and I’ve noticed that he’s been coughing quite severely. Additionally, it seems like he’s had a persistent low fever. What should I do to treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
You can appropriately administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. You can also provide some painkillers based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate the pain. If the child has a slight fever, consider giving fever-reducing medication. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and to avoid catching a cold, which could worsen the symptoms.
