Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy. He’s just started to have a sore throat, and I’ve noticed that his coughing seems more severe, and he also has a low-grade fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis to relieve the discomfort effectively?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, regional therapy can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, and laser therapy. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If the child continues to have a persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be given. In cases of repeated acute severe episodes or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Finally, I hope that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children for medical treatment as soon as possible. Also, pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures in daily life.
