Question
My son is 2 years old. He started to complain of a sore throat when he talks. I noticed that he has difficulty swallowing and seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. Please ask: How can I treat my child’s sore throat and tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child’s condition is more severe, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the pain in the throat is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If the child continues to have a fever, timely use of antipyretic drugs is recommended. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is suggested that surgery be considered as soon as possible. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
