Question
My son is 2 years old. He recently started saying he has a sore throat, accompanied by slight coughing and a bit of fever, and seems less energetic. How should a child’s tonsillitis pain be treated?
Answer
For effective treatment of tonsillitis, it is recommended to select symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections can also be considered. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms. If the child has a fever, it may be appropriate to consider antipyretic medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences such conditions, surgery may be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Parents should pay attention to this disease and bring their children for treatment as soon as possible. It is also important to pay attention to preventive measures and health care in daily life.
