Question
My son is 9 years old and a baby. He started to feel pain when swallowing water, and I noticed that his voice sounds hoarse when he talks, and he has been a bit feverish. How should I treat my infant’s tonsillitis with low fever effectively?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. In necessary cases, such as when the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be given. If the child keeps running a fever, parents should also administer antipyretic medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In cases of recurrent acute severe episodes or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. During this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
