Question
My two-year-old son is experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, and a lack of energy. How should I treat his tonsillitis-induced throat pain?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Consider using local sprays or laser therapy, and if necessary, provide painkillers to alleviate pain, especially when the throat is severely painful. If there is a persistent fever, administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If the medication is ineffective, consider surgery as an option. Also, pay attention to maintaining good hygiene in diet and ensuring adequate rest during the treatment period.
