Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 3 years old, started by saying he had a sore throat. It was found that he also had mild coughing and low fever. Please ask: How can the treatment be effective if the child has swollen and red tonsils?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injection into the tonsils. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. Additionally, if fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
