Question
My son is 5 years old. He started saying he had a sore throat and I noticed his voice was a bit hoarse, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should we diagnose and treat his tonsillitis with redness and swelling?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one should choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. In severe cases, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil cleaning and injection medications. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. For fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. If the medication is not effective, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to exacerbate the symptoms.
