Question
A three-month-old boy, at first, complained of pain when swallowing, and it was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. He also had a slight fever and seemed lackluster. What should be the treatment for tonsillitis that is very painful in children?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For localized treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation is suggested. In cases where the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, some painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medicine can be taken. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, also pay attention to arranging a light diet for the child, enhancing nutritional supplementation, and helping them recover as soon as possible.
