Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy. He has a sore throat and severe coughing, and it seems like he still has a low-grade fever. What should be done to diagnose and treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
Children with tonsillitis can try oral anti-inflammatory medications, regional spray or laser therapy, and can take painkillers as needed to relieve pain. High fever requires immediate medical attention. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment. During this period, ensure adequate rest and consume vegetables and fruits.
