Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. He also had a low fever. Could you please tell me how to treat red and swollen tonsils in infants and young children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet, and primarily consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
