Question
A three-year-old boy has recently started experiencing throat pain, his voice has become hoarse, and he has been running a fever. How should we treat the tonsillitis that is causing him discomfort?
Answer
For such conditions, it is recommended to administer some antibiotic medications to the child for treatment. Regional treatments can consider laser therapy or medication irrigation, and appropriate painkillers should be given based on the child’s symptoms, especially when the throat pain is severe. If the child continues to have a fever, apply fever-reducing medication promptly. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, consider physical cooling methods. These are common treatment methods. If tonsillitis occurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery early on, and during this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
