Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and he had been running a low fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. In case of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently suffers from inflammation, parents may consider surgery under a doctor's guidance. During treatment, it is important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
