Question
My son is 2 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when talking, and I noticed he had a slight cough and seemed to have a persistent low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose the appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medication under a doctor’s guidance for the child to effectively alleviate inflammation symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, regional treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including sinus irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If there is severe throat pain, some painkillers can be administered. For low-grade fever, physical cooling can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child frequently recurs inflammation, parents can consider surgical treatment under a doctor’s guidance. During treatment, it is crucial to ensure the child stays warm to prevent exacerbating symptoms.
