Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy. He’s been experiencing a sore throat, severe coughing, and a bit of fever recently, along with a lack of energy. How should I treat his swollen tonsillitis for the best results?
Answer
The first step in treating infants and toddlers with tonsillitis is to administer oral anti-inflammatory medication, and regional drug sprays or laser therapy can also be used. When the child has throat pain, painkillers can be given. If there is a persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medication can be administered. If there are recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it’s important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent the symptoms from worsening.
