Question
A boy, who is already 1 year old, has just started feeling a sore throat, even when drinking water, and notices that his voice is a bit hoarse. He also has a low fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis with crying and distress?
Answer
Antibiotics are currently the most commonly used method for treating children’s tonsillitis, and regional treatments can also be administered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, and laser therapy. If the child’s throat is particularly painful, some painkillers can be administered as needed. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the high fever persists, please seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrence. During treatment, pay attention to giving the child a light diet and enhancing nutritional supplements to help recover as soon as possible.
