Question
The boy is 8 years old and has recently been feeling a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and feverish weakness. How should infant and toddler tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to have the child take anti-inflammatory medications or undergo regional treatments such as tonsil lavage or injection of medication into the tonsils. If the child’s throat pain is severe, consider giving painkillers. If there is a fever, choose a cooling method based on the body temperature. If the condition is severe or there are complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover sooner.
