Question
A boy, already 2 years old, initially complained of pain when swallowing, noticed with a slight cough and a low-grade fever. How should young children with tonsillitis and throat pain be treated for the best effect?
Answer
The recommended treatment is to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional treatment methods can be combined, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, injection medications, etc. If the child’s throat pain is severe, it is suggested to use painkillers to relieve symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. These are common treatment methods. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, consider surgical treatment. During this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
