Question
My son is 1 year old. Initially, he had a slight pain in his throat, accompanied by mild coughing, and also had a bit of fever and lost his spirit. How should I treat his tonsillitis and sore throat effectively?
Answer
The treatment methods mainly include symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs, regional treatments, and other auxiliary treatments. Children can be given symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs based on their symptoms, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, or laser therapy can be performed. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are severe, some painkillers can be chosen to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the child frequently experiences this condition, after the illness is controlled, consider surgical treatment to avoid recurrent episodes. In addition, parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm and preventing colds to avoid the tonsils becoming inflamed again.
