Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old, just starting out. When speaking, she feels a sore throat. She notices that her cough seems to be more severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with swollen and red tonsils be treated effectively in young children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent symptoms from worsening due to catching a cold.
