Question
My son is 2 years old. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water, and I noticed he had a slight cough along with a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s sore throat and tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the primary methods and medications for treating pediatric tonsillitis in clinical settings. Parents can choose according to symptoms and can also complement regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications, which are quite effective. If the pain in the throat is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be given. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
