Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She then developed severe coughing, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please advise: How should tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils be treated in young children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, and some local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar medication injections, etc., are all good options. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
