Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed he was coughing quite severely, and he’s been running a fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis to get the best results?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are currently the main methods and drugs for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose according to symptoms and can also complement some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medication, which are also good options. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be administered as needed. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should give some antipyretic medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. For those with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-protected from catching a cold to avoid exacerbating symptoms.
