Question
My son just turned 8 months old and has started saying his throat hurts. He has difficulty swallowing and has been running a fever. How should red and swollen tonsillitis in children be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of red and swollen tonsillitis in children, appropriate use of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, regional administration or laser therapy, pain relievers to alleviate throat pain, fever reducers to lower temperature, and in cases of recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. The diet should be light and easy to digest.
