Patient's question:
My little boy is 2 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking and noticed some difficulty swallowing. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. I'd like to know: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relief medication can also be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, maintain a light diet, and focus on liquid foods during the healing period.
