Question
My baby boy just turned 8 months old and has a sore throat with a hoarse voice, and has been running a fever recently. How should red and swollen tonsillitis in children be treated? Please ask about the treatment methods and precautions.
Answer
When treating this condition, antibiotic therapy can be considered, with regional treatment options including laser therapy or medication rinses. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. When the child continues to have a fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing medication. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be considered. If the child frequently experiences this condition, after the disease is controlled, surgery can be considered to prevent recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is recommended to eat a light diet, focusing on liquid foods.
