Question
My son is 1 year old and has started experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and fever. What is the best way to treat a child’s tonsillitis pain?
Answer
The current common treatments for tonsillitis include antibiotics, regional treatments (such as washing the tonsil crypts, injecting medication), and administration of painkillers and antipyretics. If symptoms do not improve or tonsillitis recurs, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment in advance. Parents should keep the child warm at all times and avoid catching a cold to prevent a relapse of inflammation.
