Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, she already has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in young children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar medication injections, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. The above are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more fruits and vegetables.
