Question
My child is a 1-year-old boy. He has just started to have a sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. He has also had a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
In treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. For regional treatments, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the primary symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be considered. For low-grade fever, physical coolingcan be applied. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery early on. At the same time, attention should also be given to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to aid in early recovery.
