Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 5 years old, just starting to complain of pain when swallowing, noticed that it comes with mild coughing, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away either. How should pharyngitis with swollen and red tonsils be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be used, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injections, etc. If the symptoms are primarily throat pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take the child to the hospital for early treatment. It is also important to pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
