Question
A boy, who is 1 year old, has just started saying that he is having pain when swallowing. He also noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, he has a low-grade fever. How should a child with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For treatment, it is first recommended to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. For regional treatment, laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation is suggested. In cases where the child’s throat pain is particularly severe, painkillers can also be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give the child oral antipyretics. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, it is also important to arrange for a child’s reasonable diet and lifestyle habits to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
