Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something, and it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in young children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
