Question
My son is 1 year old, and recently he has been experiencing hoarseness, sore throat, and persistent low fever. Could these symptoms be a sign of pediatric tonsillitis with a red and swollen throat? What is the best way to treat it?
Answer
It is recommended to select appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for the child under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Regional treatments can also be considered, such as tonsil lavage or regional injections. Painkillers can be administered if the child is experiencing a sore throat. For fever symptoms, antipyretics can be used. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to common treatment methods, surgery is also a viable option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
