Question
My son is 2 years old. He has recently started to have a sore throat and a hoarse voice, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis for better effectiveness?
Answer
For the treatment of such diseases, you can have the child take symptomatic antibiotic medications, or perform regional rinsing or spraying, or inject symptomatic medications into the tonsils, which can all be effective. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, it is recommended to give painkillers as needed. If the child has a slight fever, consider fever reduction; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the medication treatment is ineffective and recurrent, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
