Question
My son is 3 years old and has just started saying that his throat hurts. I noticed he has a slight cough and now he has a persistent fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
For a better treatment of tonsillitis, it is recommended to choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. In case of severe conditions, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications can be combined. If the child experiences severe throat pain, analgesics may be suggested to alleviate symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever, oral antipyretics can be administered. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent attacks; if similar situations occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment, it is crucial to ensure the child’s warmth and avoid exacerbating symptoms by catching a cold.
