Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water, and he also found that his cough seemed to be more severe. Additionally, he had a slight fever and seemed listless. Please ask: How should I treat my child's swollen and red tonsils?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
