Question
My child is a 1-year-old male baby. Initially, he felt pain when swallowing water, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking. He also had a slight fever and seemed less energetic. How should one treat the pain of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders to give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. You can also combine some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are quite effective. If the sore throat is severe, you can give some painkillers. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give the child some oral antipyretics. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If there are similar conditions, after the inflammation is controlled, surgery can be considered. During treatment, also pay attention to arranging a light diet for the child and strengthening nutritional supplementation to help recovery as soon as possible.
