Question
My son is 3 years old. He just started feeling a bit sore in his throat, and I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. He also has a low-grade fever. How should I treat my infant’s tonsillitis with swelling for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, antibiotic medications can be used for symptomatic treatment first. If the condition is more severe, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and injection medications can be combined. For cases with severe sore throat symptoms, appropriate painkillers can be administered to alleviate the pain. If the child has fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. If the symptoms are severe or persistently not relieved, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment to avoid recurrent episodes. During treatment, pay attention to a light diet, focusing on liquid foods.
