Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water felt painful in the throat. Noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating these types of diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt lavage and tonsillar medication injections can also be used. For sore throat, pain relief medication can be given to children. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Surgery is also one feasible option, suitable for children who experience frequent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets sufficient rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
