Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his cough was quite severe, and it seemed like his low fever never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in young children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, parents can consider giving pain relievers as needed to alleviate discomfort. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
