Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that his cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngeal tonsil inflammation with redness and swelling be treated in young children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medication can be administered as appropriate. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
