Question
My 5-year-old son is experiencing a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and mild fever. The situation is not good. The child’s tonsils are inflamed and very painful. What effective treatment methods should be considered?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the symptoms, and regional treatments such as cleaning the tonsil crypts and regional drug injections can also be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be taken; if there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be used. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
