Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he talks, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can the treatment be most effective if the child has tonsillitis with redness and swelling?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medication can be administered orally. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
