Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy. Initially, he felt pain in his throat when drinking water, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse, and now he has a persistent fever. What should be the diagnosis and treatment for infants and young children with tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
In treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and also combine with some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injections, etc., which are quite effective. If the sore throat is severe, you can give some painkillers. If the child keeps running a fever, parents can also administer some antipyretic drugs or immediately take the child to the hospital. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child has recurrent tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging reasonable dietary and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
