Question
My son is 9 months old and has started to sound hoarse, with a slight sore throat and fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
For treating children’s tonsillitis, it’s advisable to choose anti-inflammatory medications, regional treatments, or laser therapy under a doctor’s recommendation. If the child experiences severe sore throat, painkillers can be considered. Choose a cooling method based on body temperature; for temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while oral fever-reducing medication is recommended for temperatures above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgery may be an option. After recovery, appropriate exercise can boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
