Question
A boy, aged 1, has recently been experiencing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and persistent low fever. How should one handle a child’s case of tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
Appropriate use of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be employed for systemic and localized treatment, such as tonsil crypt cleaning or regional drug injection. It is recommended to consider giving painkillers to relieve the sore throat, and if there is persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. It is important to ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
