Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed he had severe coughing and a slight fever, and he wasn't very energetic. Could you please tell me: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravating symptoms by catching a cold.
