Question
My son is 2 years old. At first, he said he felt pain when swallowing, accompanied by a slight cough, and had a persistent high fever. How should I treat his infant tonsillitis crying for the best effect?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis is for parents to administer anti-inflammatory medications to their child. Regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections can also be considered. If the child has throat pain, a small amount of pain reliever can be given. If there is a fever, the cooling method should be chosen according to the body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used, and above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the child frequently experiences this condition, surgery can be considered after the illness stabilizes to prevent recurrence. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging appropriate dietary and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover sooner.
