Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old, just starting, said his throat hurts even when drinking water, noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat pediatric tonsillitis with redness and swelling.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which are effective. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
