Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 4 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and now she has a high fever that won't break. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use pain relief medication to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet consisting mainly of light foods. Additionally, it is important to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
