Question
My son is 3 years old. He recently started complaining of pain when swallowing, and it seems his cough has become more severe. He also has a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
For treatment, you can first provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. You can also complement this with regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injections, and other effective options. You may also consider giving the child pain relief medication, especially when the throat pain is severe, as it can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a fever, you can consider giving some antipyretic medication. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods, but if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
