Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt a slight sore throat, discovered that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate amounts of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar medication injections can also be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be chosen to alleviate the symptoms. 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. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light meals. Rest should also be ensured to avoid fatigue.
