Question
My son is 7 years old and has recently been experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and a lack of energy with fever. How should one treat the discomfort caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating this kind of illness, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, you can provide regional drug sprays or laser therapy. If the child primarily has a sore throat, parents can consider giving some painkillers to relieve the discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the child frequently experiences this condition, after the condition is controlled, surgical treatment can be considered. During this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
