Question
My son is 3 years old. Initially, he had a bit of soreness in his throat, and I noticed that his coughing seemed more severe, and he seemed to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should a child’s tonsillitis with sore throat be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics are a common method for treating tonsillitis and can be chosen accordingly. While taking medication, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation and direct medication can also be performed to reinforce the effectiveness of treatment. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, painkillers can be considered. For fever, cooling methods should be chosen based on body temperature. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be an option. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
