Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy. He has recently been experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and a low-grade fever. What should be done to treat his tonsillitis and redness?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered as it is effective. Local treatments may include laser therapy or medication irrigation. For sore throat, painkillers can be given. If fever is present, antipyretics can be taken, but it is advisable to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. If the inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid colds to prevent the exacerbation of symptoms.
