Question
My son is 1 year old. He has a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a persistent low fever. How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
Treatment for children’s tonsillitis can include anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, along with regional treatments such as rinsing or injection of medication. For throat pain, painkillers can be used, and oral fever-reducing medication can be taken for persistent fever. If there are recurrent infections, surgery may be considered. It’s important to maintain good hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
