Question
A boy, aged 1, is experiencing a slight sore throat and has noticed more severe coughing. He also has a persistent fever. How should one treat the redness and swelling of a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
To achieve better treatment results, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance or undergo regional treatments such as cleaning tonsil crypts or injecting medications. For the child’s severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to alleviate it. For persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If there are recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment may need to be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet, with liquid foods being the mainstay.
