Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. We noticed that his cough seemed quite severe as well. Additionally, he had a slight fever and seemed lacking in energy. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as irrigation or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. For sore throat, you can give children pain relievers. If the child has persistent fever, use fever-reducing medication promptly. Physical cooling is recommended if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. For recurring inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, maintain a light diet and prioritize a liquid diet.
