Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 9 months old and has started to complain of pain when swallowing. I noticed he has a slight cough and has been a bit feverish. How should I treat red swelling in my child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, consider giving painkillers. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child well-warmed to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
