Question
Dear Sir, my son is just over 9 months old and has recently been experiencing sore throat, hoarseness, and a persistent low-grade fever. How should red swelling of pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, and laser therapy can also be considered. Painkillers can be given if necessary, and antipyretics can be taken orally if the fever persists. In addition, surgery is an option for children who have recurrent episodes. Pay attention to a light diet in everyday life, and mainly consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
