Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should I treat my child's inflamed and swollen tonsils?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, local flushing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
