Question
My son is just over 6 months old. Initially, he said he was experiencing pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Moreover, he now has a persistent high fever that won’t go down. How should one treat the discomfort caused by a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
In treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, regional treatments can be administered, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injections, and laser therapy. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be administered. These methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. Moreover, surgery is also a viable option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease and take their children to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible. In addition, it is also important to do well in related preventive and health care work in daily life.
