Question
My son is 1 year old. Initially, he said his throat was sore, and I noticed he had difficulty swallowing, and he’s been a bit feverish. How should I treat my child’s swollen, red tonsils?
Answer
In most cases of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be used, as well as regional treatments such as gargling or injection of medication. Painkillers can be administered to relieve pain based on the child’s condition. If there is a persistent fever, antipyretic medications should be used. Pay attention to keeping warm to avoid exacerbating symptoms. If inflammation occurs frequently, consider surgical treatment.
