Question
The boy is 8 years old and has recently been experiencing pain when swallowing water, with severe coughing and low-grade fever. Inquire about the treatment methods for infant and toddler tonsillitis.
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, it is recommended to choose medications with anti-inflammatory effects under the guidance of a doctor, and regional treatments such as rinsing or regional medication can be used to enhance efficacy. For throat pain, painkillers can be given to the child, and if there is fever, consider antipyretics. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are repeated acute severe conditions or complications, it is recommended to consider tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. During the treatment period, pay attention to a light diet, mainly consuming fluids.
