Question
My son is 2 years old. Lately, he has been experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and persistent high fever. How should we treat his inflamed and swollen tonsils for the best effect?
Answer
During treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child’s symptoms. Regional treatment is recommended to choose between laser therapy or drug irrigation. If severe throat pain is present, painkillers can be considered. If there is a persistent fever, use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. For frequent episodes, surgery may be an option. Pay attention to a light diet, and mainly consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
