Question
My son is 2 years old. He first complained of a sore throat, his voice was hoarse, and he had a low-grade fever. How should infant and toddler tonsillitis be treated if it’s very painful?
Answer
For a better treatment of tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and also undergo some local treatments, such as rinsing. If the child’s throat is particularly sore, painkillers can be considered. For fever, oral fever-reducing medicine can be administered. If the symptoms do not subside, please seek medical attention. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks; after the inflammation is controlled, surgery can be considered. At the same time, pay attention to reasonable diet and lifestyle habits to help the child recover as soon as possible.
