Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. He started complaining of a sore throat, and I noticed that his cough seems to be getting worse as well. It seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away either. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsil inflammation and redness effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under a doctor's guidance. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to ensure the child has a light diet and adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
