Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old. At first, he said his throat was sore. It was found that he also had mild coughing, and a little fever, and he wasn't in the mood. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with red and swollen tonsils be diagnosed and treated in children.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, one can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can be combined. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
