Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat while speaking, and I noticed that his coughing seemed more severe. He has also had a slight fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are currently the main methods and drugs for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, and parents can choose according to the symptoms. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child primarily experiences throat pain, it is recommended for parents to use painkillers in moderation. Moreover, if there is a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. It is advised to seek medical attention as soon as possible during high fever. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
