Question
A boy, already 1 year old, has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, slight cough, fever, and lack of energy. How should a child’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
It is recommended to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for treatment under a doctor’s guidance, which can help alleviate inflammatory symptoms. At the same time, regional treatments such as gargling or regional medication can also be performed to enhance the efficacy. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. If the fever persists, timely use of antipyretics is required. If the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early on. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
