Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 6 years old, just starting. She feels a sore throat when speaking and notices that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local irrigation or topical medication can also be used, and medications can be injected directly into the tonsils for symptomatic relief. The efficacy of these methods is generally good. In cases of sore throat, analgesics can be given to the child. If the child also has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. If medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. It is important to maintain a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be primarily followed during treatment.
