Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat while speaking, accompanied by slight coughing and a slight fever. How should a child’s sore throat due to tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
To better treat tonsillitis, it is recommended to select some anti-inflammatory medications under the doctor’s guidance. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, painkillers may be used to alleviate symptoms. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be employed. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, it is suggested to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Lastly, parents are encouraged to take this disease seriously, bring their children for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related preventive and health care measures in their daily lives.
