Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a little sore in his throat. He noticed it, and his cough became quite severe, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide your child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
