Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old, just starting, a little sore in the throat, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in young children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Moreover, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further aggravating symptoms by catching a cold.
