Question
My 2-year-old son has a sore throat, hoarse voice, fever, and fatigue. How should I treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications and regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation can be chosen under a doctor’s guidance. Painkillers can relieve throat pain, and methods to lower body temperature based on the fever should be selected. Consider surgical treatment if necessary to avoid recurrence, while also paying attention to light diet and nutritional supplementation to aid recovery.
