Question
My son is 9 years old and a boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed he had a slight cough as well. It seems like he’s had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. The tonsils are red and swollen due to inflammation. How should I treat this effectively?
Answer
You can use antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications appropriately for treatment, or consider regional cleaning or spraying, and injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils to achieve good results. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered, and physical cooling should be done at the same time. When the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, medical treatment should be sought promptly. For cases of recurrent inflammation, surgery can be considered, and attention should be paid to ensuring the child gets enough rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
