Patient's question:
My male child, who is 3 years old, initially said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. It was discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How to treat red and swollen tonsils in children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, or local treatments can be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
