Question
My son is 1 year old. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water, and it seems that his coughing is also more severe. He also has a bit of a fever and lacks energy. What should I do to treat his tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
You can appropriately administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. You can also combine them with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. For children with obvious symptoms of throat pain, analgesic drugs can be used. If the child keeps running a fever, parents can also give some fever-reducing medication, or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the child has recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child gets plenty of nutrition, and the diet should be light. Also, pay attention to adequate rest and avoid fatigue.
