Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is advised as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and further tonsillitis.
