Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He noticed it accompanied mild coughing and low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. While undergoing treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
