Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If the condition does not improve, medical attention must be sought. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
