Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. She noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should the child be treated if tonsillitis with redness and swelling occurs?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if a child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
