Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water and his throat seemed sore. I noticed that he was coughing more severely as well, and he’s been a bit feverish. What should I do to treat his tonsillitis effectively when he cries and is distressed?
Answer
For treatment, it’s first recommended to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. For regional treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation are suggested. If the child’s throat pain is particularly severe, some painkillers may be used to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought immediately. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, also pay attention to providing the child with light and nutritious food to aid recovery.
