Question
A boy, just over 1 month old, initially reported a sore throat, and it was found that swallowing was a bit difficult, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should red swelling in pediatric tonsillitis be treated for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis and can be selected appropriately. In addition, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered, and painkillers can be given if the child’s throat is particularly painful. Children with fever symptoms can take antipyretic drugs, and in severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the illness is controlled to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child’s warmth and avoid exacerbating symptoms by catching a cold.
