Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. He noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and also had a low fever. Question: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated for relief?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing drugs. 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 important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
