Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, started with a slightly sore throat. He noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult and is accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injection into the tonsils. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medications can be administered orally.In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to see a doctor for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
