Question
My son is 2 years old. He has been suffering from a sore throat, severe cough, and persistent fever recently. How should I treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
Generally speaking, when a child exhibits symptoms of tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered. Additionally, regional cleaning or regional drug treatment can be performed, or even the injection of medication into the tonsils. If the child’s main symptom is a sore throat, it is recommended to administer painkillers to relieve discomfort. If there is a persistent fever, timely use of antipyretic medication is advisable. If the condition is severe or complications arise, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. After recovery, it is suggested to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
