Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old, just starting out. When she talks, she feels a sore throat, and she notices that her cough seems to be more severe as well. She also has a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in young children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given to the child, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
