Question
A 2-year-old boy is experiencing swallowing pain, hoarseness, and fever symptoms, tonsillitis. How should it be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be considered first, along with regional irrigation or spray treatment, and appropriate medication can also be injected into the tonsils, which is effective. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be administered in moderation. When fever persists, timely use of antipyretic medication is recommended. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. These methods are common treatment approaches. However, if tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider early surgery. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
