Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy, and he has recently started to feel discomfort in his throat, with some pain and difficulty swallowing. He also has a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis effectively when he cries and is restless?
Answer
To treat tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, and also adopt some local treatment methods, such as tonsil washing or injection of medications. If the child has throat pain, consider using painkillers; if there is fever, choose a cooling method based on the body temperature. If the condition occurs frequently, surgery can be considered after treatment to avoid recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
