Question
My son, just over 4 months old, has been complaining of pain when swallowing. I noticed he has a slight cough and seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and crying?
Answer
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, regional treatments can be administered, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injection, and laser therapy. Painkillers may be given if necessary. If the child has a fever, it should be managed appropriately; if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these methods, surgery is also an option for children with recurrent episodes. Parents should pay attention to the disease and seek medical treatment for their child early on. They should also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
