Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. Lately, he has been feeling pain when swallowing and drinking water, and he has difficulty swallowing and a lack of energy due to fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics can be administered to the child to treat the symptoms. At the same time, regional treatment methods can be chosen to enhance the effect, including cleaning crypts and direct drug injection. If there is severe throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers to relieve symptoms; if there is fever, you can take antipyretics, but if the high fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. If there are multiple severe acute episodes or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, has a light diet, gets enough rest, and avoids fatigue.
