Question
A baby boy, just over 9 months old, has recently been complaining of a sore throat and seems to have difficulty swallowing. He also has a slight fever. How should one treat tonsillitis with swelling in children for better effectiveness?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, or opt for regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injections. For children with throat pain, painkillers can be used. If there is a fever, a small amount of antipyretic medication can be administered. However, if the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. It is also essential to pay attention to a child’s reasonable diet and rest schedule to aid in their early recovery.
