Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough is quite severe, and he has had a slight fever all along. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat his swollen and red tonsils?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
