Question
My son is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and persistent low-grade fever. Could this be infantile tonsillitis with swelling? What is the effective treatment?
Answer
During treatment, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the symptoms, and regional treatments can also be chosen to enhance the effect, such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct drug injection. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered; if fever is present, antipyretics can be taken, and in case of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to medication, if the child frequently suffers from inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment and pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits to assist in recovery.
