Question
My son is 2 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that his coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, he’s been a bit feverish. How should I treat my infant’s tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
In treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation. In cases of throat pain, painkillers can be administered to the child. If the child continues to have a fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing drugs. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is also important to ensure that the child has a light diet and enhances nutritional supplementation to help recover as soon as possible.
