Question
The boy is 2 years old and has a sore throat, cough, and a persistent high fever. How should we treat the red swelling of infants’ and toddlers’ tonsillitis?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, while also considering regional treatments such as gargling or topical medication. Painkillers and fever-reducing drugs can also be considered. In severe cases, immediate medical attention should be sought. Surgery is an option for treating recurrent episodes in children. It is advisable to maintain a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
