Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things, noticed that coughing seems to be more severe as well. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsil inflammation with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. Immediate medical attention is required if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
