Question
My 6-year-old son has been saying his throat hurts and his voice is hoarse, with a low-grade fever. It might be due to tonsillitis. How should we treat it?
Answer
When treating this condition, consider using symptomatic antibiotic medications, regional treatments such as tonsil washing, and injection drugs. For severe throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If there is a fever, it should be promptly reduced. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. For children with recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. It is advisable to maintain a light diet and consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
