Question
My son is 2 years old, and he has a sore throat when he speaks, his voice is a bit hoarse, and he’s been a bit feverish. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional drug sprays or laser therapy can also be considered. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, parents may consider giving painkillers to alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be used as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
