Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just starting, feels sore throat when talking, found that cough seems to be more serious as well. Additionally, high fever has not subsided yet. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be administered.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
