Question
My son is 2 years old, and he has recently been suffering from a sore throat, severe cough, and fever. How should I handle the crying and fussing of a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended to choose the appropriate antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medication under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate the symptoms of inflammation. Regional treatment methods can be combined, such as tonsil irrigation and injection medications. If the throat pain is severe, a small amount of pain reliever can be used. If there is still a fever, consider taking a fever-reducing medicine, but if the fever persists, seek medical attention promptly. For those with frequent acute severe episodes or complications, consider tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to supplement nutrition, eat a light diet, get plenty of rest, and avoid fatigue.
