Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and it was found that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well. At the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be if the child has red and swollen tonsils?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to ease the discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. However, if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
