Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy. Initially, he had a bit of a sore throat, and I noticed that his coughing seemed more severe. He also has a slight fever and seems less energetic. What should be done to treat the discomfort caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For treatment, it is first recommended to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. For regional treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is suggested. In cases of sore throat, painkillers can also be given to the child. If there is a low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs, surgical treatment may be recommended. Finally, parents should pay attention to this disease and bring their children for medical treatment as soon as possible. In addition, it is important to pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures during daily life.
