Question
My son is 1 year old, and recently he has been complaining of a sore throat, with slight coughing and a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. What is the best way to treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, treatment can include selecting anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, as well as regional irrigation or spraying, or even injecting medication into the tonsils. Painkillers can be administered as needed, along with physical cooling(cooling) measures. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, surgery can be considered as one of the treatment methods, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. Meanwhile, pay attention to providing your child with a light diet and enhancing nutritional supplementation, which will help in a quicker recovery.
