Question
A 7-year-old boy has recently been experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, and a lack of energy. How should parents treat their child’s tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
Parents are advised to choose the appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for their child, which can effectively alleviate the symptoms of inflammation. In addition, regional treatment measures such as tonsil crypt irrigation, internal medication injections, and laser therapy can be considered. For children with severe throat pain, painkillers can be used, and oral fever-reducing medication can be taken if the fever persists. These are common treatment methods. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider early surgery. Ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
