Question
Dear parents, my son is just over 9 months old. He initially showed symptoms of sore throat and hoarseness, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can primarily involve oral anti-inflammatory medications, supplemented by regional treatments such as tonsil pocket irrigation or tonsil medication injections to enhance efficacy. In cases of severe sore throat, painkillers may be considered to alleviate pain. If there is persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. It is suggested that if tonsil problems frequently recur, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to increasing nutrition, eating a light diet, and getting plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
