Question
My son is 2 years old. He recently said that he felt pain when swallowing, and it seems a bit difficult. He has also been a bit feverish. How should I treat his sore throat and fever?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injection, laser treatment, etc. For children with pronounced symptoms of throat pain, analgesic medication can be used. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. These methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. Moreover, surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
