Question
My son is 7 years old. He recently started feeling a bit of pain in his throat, and he has been coughing quite severely. It seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. What should I do if my child’s tonsils are inflamed to achieve the best treatment effect?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are mainly used, and the choice of sensitive drugs can be made based on bacterial culture, which has a good effect. In addition, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be given. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, then appropriate antipyretic measures should be taken; if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently recurs inflammation, parents can also consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period and focus on liquid food.
