Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had a slight fever and seemed lacking in energy. Please advise: How can I treat my child's severe tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
