Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 8 months old, she has a slight sore throat, her voice is hoarse, she has a fever and seems listless. What are the treatment methods for red and swollen tonsillitis in young children?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, use regional medication sprays or laser therapy, and provide pain relief when there is a sore throat. Depending on the body temperature, choose a method to reduce fever; physical cooling should be below 38.5 degrees Celsius, and oral fever-reducing medicine can be taken if the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child has recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. At the same time, pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle to promote recovery.
