Question
A 7-year-old boy has a slight sore throat, mild cough, and low-grade fever. How should infant and toddler tonsillitis be treated for better results?
Answer
For tonsillitis, antibiotics are the usual treatment method, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or drug injections can also be considered. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms; oral fever-reducing medication can be considered when there is a persistent fever. If the condition is recurrent, parents may consider surgical treatment. During the treatment process, ensure adequate nutrition intake, eat light meals, rest more, and avoid fatigue.
