Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old. At first, when talking, he felt a sore throat, and then discovered it was accompanied by mild coughing. At the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic medication can be used. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
