Question
A 2-year-old boy at home has started to feel pain when swallowing and is experiencing severe coughing, along with a persistent low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated to alleviate discomfort?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications, and regional treatments can include laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used to relieve symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be used, and in case of high fever, immediate medical attention is recommended. If inflammation recurs, it is advisable for parents to discuss the possibility of surgical treatment with the doctor. During treatment, children should be allowed to rest sufficiently and consume plenty of vegetables and fruits to aid recovery. Thank you for your question!
