Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow, and we noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat my child's swollen and inflamed tonsils?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
