Question
A 7-year-old boy has just started experiencing pain when swallowing or drinking water. He has noticed that his cough is quite severe, and he seems to have a persistent low-grade fever. How should infant and toddler tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
When treating such diseases, it is appropriate to give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and regional treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications, which are quite effective. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If the child has fever symptoms, they can take fever-reducing drugs. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. If there are repeated acute severe episodes or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
