Question
A boy, 4 years old, has just started saying that he has pain when swallowing, and it seems that swallowing is a bit difficult. Moreover, it seems that he has had a low-grade fever all the time. How should we treat a crying child with tonsillitis?
Answer
To treat tonsillitis more effectively, one can choose some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. When necessary, such as when the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be given. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
