Question
My son is 2 years old. Initially, he said he felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed he had a slight cough and a bit of fever, and he seemed less energetic. How should I treat his sore throat and fever effectively?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose treatments according to symptoms, and regional treatments such as rinsing and direct medication can consolidate the efficacy. In cases of throat pain, children can be given painkillers. If the child has a slight fever, then appropriate antipyretic measures should be taken. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to these common treatment methods for tonsillitis, surgery is also an option for children with recurrent attacks. During treatment, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure enough rest time.
