Question
If my 3-year-old son has a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a fever, how should I treat his tonsillitis-related throat pain?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, antibiotics can be considered as a treatment option, along with regional use of medication sprays or radiation therapy. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers may be considered; when the child has a fever, use antipyretic medications or seek immediate medical attention. If the condition occurs frequently, surgery may be considered after treatment to prevent recurrent episodes; during the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
