Question
My child is a 1-year-old boy. Initially, he complained of a sore throat, his voice was a bit hoarse, and he had a persistent low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s sore throat due to tonsillitis?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Consider systemic medication and regional treatment options, such as tonsil washing or regional drug injections. If there is a sore throat, painkillers can be given. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. To prevent recurrent episodes, consider surgical treatment after the treatment. Keep the diet light and consume mainly liquid foods.
