Question
My son is 4 years old. Initially, he said he felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he’s been a bit feverish. How should I treat his tonsillitis effectively when he’s crying?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. Regional medication can also be used, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injection of medication. Under the condition of sore throat, you can also give the child some painkillers. If the child continues to have a fever, timely application of antipyretics is recommended. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is also advisable to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
