Question
My son is 5 years old, and he has recently started feeling throat pain accompanied by a slight cough and low fever. I would like to know how to treat tonsillitis pain in infants and toddlers.
Answer
The treatment method primarily involves administering symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, while also considering regional treatments to enhance efficacy, such as tonsil pocket irrigation or direct drug injection into the tonsils. If the child’s throat pain is severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, for cases with low fever, physical cooling methods can be used, and medical attention should be sought promptly if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C. If there is a recurrent inflammatory condition, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
