Question
Baby boy, just over 2 months old, at first, said he felt pain when swallowing, found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and also had a bit of fever and lack of energy. How should the discomfort of children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Regional rinsing or spraying can also be considered, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. In necessary cases, such as when the child has severe throat pain, some painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. These methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent episodes. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging reasonable dietary and lifestyle habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
