Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It turns out his cough is also quite severe. Additionally, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How can I effectively treat my child's swollen and red tonsils?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be used for children. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early on. During treatment, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
