Question
A boy, already 2 years old, initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that he was coughing quite severely, and it seems like he’s had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. What should be the treatment for a child with tonsillitis who is crying and restless?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one should choose symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers may be appropriate. If there is also a fever, some antipyretics can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These methods are among the commonly used treatments for tonsillitis. Moreover, surgery is also a viable option for children who have recurrent episodes. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
