Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy. Lately, he has been experiencing pain when swallowing water, accompanied by slight coughing and low fever. How should I treat the pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to relieve the pain. At the same time, regional therapy can be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication to enhance the effect. If there is throat pain, consider using analgesics as needed. If there is a fever, take antipyretic medication, and seek medical attention early if the fever is high. For recurrent inflammation, surgery may be considered. At the same time, pay attention to giving your child a reasonable diet and rest schedule to promote recovery.
