Question
My son is 1 year old. He just started feeling pain when swallowing water, and he has a severe cough. He also has a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. How should I treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
You can give him some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. For regional treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation is recommended. If necessary, you can give him oral fever reducers. If the symptoms do not subside, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the medication is ineffective and symptoms recur, surgical treatment may be suggested. Pay attention to a light diet, and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
