Question
A boy, 3 years old, has just started saying that he is in pain when swallowing, and it seems that swallowing is a bit difficult. He also has a low fever. How should one treat a child’s painful tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered. For localized treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medicated rinses. Painkillers and fever-reducing medication can also be provided as needed. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Additionally, attention should be paid to reasonable dietary and lifestyle habits to help the child recover as soon as possible.
