Question
My child is a 1-year-old boy. Recently, he has been experiencing throat discomfort, difficulty swallowing, and persistent low-grade fever. It might be due to tonsillitis. What treatment should be considered?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be considered for treatment, along with regional rinsing or spray medications, or even tonsil injections of symptomatic medication. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be used, and fever symptoms can be treated with antipyretics. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to medication, if the child has recurrent inflammation, surgery may also be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to reasonable diet and lifestyle habits, which will help in recovery.
