Question
My son is 2 years old. Initially, he complained of pain when swallowing, and I noticed he was coughing more severely. He has also had a slight fever. How should I treat his sore throat with tonsillitis?
Answer
For an effective treatment of tonsillitis, one can choose medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child’s sore throat is severe, painkillers can be used in moderation to relieve discomfort. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. Apart from medication, if the child experiences recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Moreover, parents should ensure their child stays warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent a recurrence of tonsillitis.
