Question
My son is 2 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking. I noticed that his coughing seems more severe, and now he has a persistent high fever. How should a child’s crying due to tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, it is advisable to choose anti-inflammatory medications or regional drugs under a doctor’s supervision, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intra-tonsillar drug injections. If the primary symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be considered. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken. For high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Besides medication, surgery is also an option for children with recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining good eating hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
