Question
My 3-year-old son has recently been suffering from a sore throat, hoarseness, and a persistent fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis and throat pain?
Answer
The most common treatment for tonsillitis is the use of antibiotics, along with regional irrigation or spray medications, intratonsillar injection of symptomatic medications, etc. If there is throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered. In case of fever, it is necessary to cool the body appropriately; if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. If this condition occurs frequently, after treatment and control, surgery can be considered to prevent recurrence. At the same time, attention should be paid to providing a light diet and strengthening nutritional supplementation to aid in a quick recovery.
