Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 8 months old and has recently started feeling a sore throat, with difficulty swallowing and a low-grade fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis pain be effectively treated?
Answer
It is recommended for parents to choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their child under the guidance of a doctor to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injection, and laser therapy can also be considered. For children with obvious sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be administered. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken. It is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment can be considered as well. After the condition improves, it is suggested to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
