Question
My daughter is 1 year old. She started to complain of pain when swallowing water, along with a slight cough and a persistent fever. How should red and swollen tonsillitis be treated in children?
Answer
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered, and painkillers can be given to the child for throat pain. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period, and focus on liquid foods.
