Question

My son is 1 year old. He has been experiencing discomfort in his mouth and throat, accompanied by a slight cough and high fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis red swelling effectively?

Answer

When a child has tonsillitis, you can initially use symptomatic antibiotics or regional treatments such as tonsil crypt cleaning or injection medications. If the main symptom is throat pain, parents can consider giving painkillers to relieve symptoms. If the child still has a fever, you can use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital for medical treatment. If the medication treatment is ineffective and the condition recurs, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. Parents should pay close attention to this condition and take their child for treatment as soon as possible. In addition, pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in daily life.
