Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something, noticed that accompanied by mild cough, and a bit of fever and no energy. Please ask: How is it best to treat pediatric tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. Tonsillitis is known to have a recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
