Question
My daughter is 2 years old. She recently started saying that swallowing is painful, and I’ve noticed that her coughing seems more severe. Additionally, she has a slight fever and isn’t very energetic. How should I treat my child’s sore throat and crying due to tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment methods include administering symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs, performing regional treatments (such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injection, and laser therapy), and, if necessary, providing painkillers and fever-reducing medication. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. In cases where medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be required. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and provide sufficient rest time.
