Question
Dear readers, our 1-year-old boy recently has been feeling a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough, fever, and mood swings. How can we effectively treat his tonsillitis condition?
Answer
To treat a child’s tonsillitis, it is first recommended to administer anti-inflammatory medication and conduct local treatments such as gargling and direct application of medication to enhance the efficacy. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be considered. If fever is present, antipyretic medication should be taken. If high fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there are repeated severe acute symptoms or complications, and if the acute inflammation subsides, it is suggested to consider tonsillectomy within two weeks after the inflammation has resolved. It is also important to arrange for the child’s reasonable diet and sleep habits to assist in a quick recovery.
