Question
My son is 2 years old. Initially, he said he felt pain when swallowing, accompanied by slight coughing and a bit of fever with a lack of energy. What should I do if my child’s tonsillitis causes crying and distress?
Answer
For a more effective treatment of tonsillitis, it is advisable to choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the doctor’s guidance and also consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy. If throat pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. In case of fever, antipyretic measures should be taken; if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. In cases where inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
