Question
My son is 2 years old. Initially, he said he felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed he had a slight cough. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should we effectively treat children’s tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
For treatment, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, or perform regional rinsing or spraying. Symptomatic medication can also be injected into the tonsils, which is also effective. If the child has a particularly sore throat, some painkillers can be administered as needed. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give the child oral fever-reducing medication. If the symptoms do not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. These methods are currently among the more common treatments for tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option for children who have recurrent attacks, during which it is important to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
