Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy, and he has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, coughing, and fever. I would like to ask: How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis, which is very painful, and what are the best treatment outcomes?
Answer
For the child’s symptoms, it is advisable to start with symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication for treatment, and also consider regional treatment methods to enhance the efficacy, such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct medication injection into the tonsils. When the child feels severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, cooling methods can be chosen based on body temperature. If the medication treatment is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is suggested to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
