Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat. He noticed that his cough was quite severe and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with swollen and red tonsils be treated in young children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
