Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he had a low fever. I would like to ask: How should I treat his tonsillitis and sore throat for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, local rinsing or local spraying can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can also be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
