Question
My son is 7 years old. Initially, he felt pain in his throat when drinking water, and he has a slight cough. Additionally, it seems like he has a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should one treat the discomfort caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, it’s advisable to select symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. In cases where the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. For those with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it’s also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
