Patient's question:
Boy, already one year old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. It was noticed that his cough is quite severe, and at the same time, it seems like he has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. You can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection, which are quite effective. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, you may consider giving pain-relieving medications. If the child still has a fever, you can take fever-reducing drugs as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent worsening of symptoms due to catching a cold.
