Question
A boy, already 1 year old, initially complained of a sore throat, and it was noticed that his coughing seemed more severe, and he had been a bit feverish. How should a child’s sore throat and crying due to tonsillitis be treated for the best results?
Answer
The first step in treating a child’s tonsillitis is for parents to give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or pharmaceutical irrigation. If the child has severe throat pain, some painkillers can be given. For fever symptoms, some antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the medication is not effective and there are repeated occurrences, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is kept warm and to avoid catching a cold that could worsen the symptoms.
