Question
A boy, already 2 years old, initially complained of pain when swallowing water. He also has a severe cough and a bit of fever, and seems to lack energy. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated if it’s not easy to manage?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, regional medication sprays or laser therapy can be considered if the child’s sore throat symptoms are particularly severe. If the child also has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In case of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, and after the illness is controlled, consider surgical treatment to avoid recurrence. During this period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
