Question
My son is 3 years old. Initially, he said his throat hurt, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. He has also had a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s crying due to tonsillitis?
Answer
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, it is effective to give the child some antibiotics according to the symptoms. You can also combine it with regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications, which are quite good. For children with obvious throat pain symptoms, painkillers can be used. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, you can take oral fever-reducing medication. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrence. If there are similar situations, consider surgery after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child do appropriate exercise and improve their immune system to prevent recurrence.
