Question
My five-year-old son has recently been experiencing a sore throat, severe coughing, and fever. He has tonsillitis. How should it be treated?
Answer
For such conditions, consider using antibiotics for the child, as well as regional cleaning or spraying of medications, or even injecting regional drugs into the tonsils. Painkillers can be administered based on the child’s condition, especially when there is severe throat pain to help alleviate the discomfort. For fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken; if it cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. For recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgery may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
