Question
My child is a 1-year-old boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed he had a severe cough, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis crying for effective results?
Answer
For treatment, you can first give the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on his symptoms. You can also opt for regional irrigation or spraying. Injections of symptomatic drugs can also be administered to the tonsils, which are all effective treatments. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever, apply fever reducers promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, also pay attention to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
