Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just started, says even drinking water feels painful in the throat, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How to treat red and swollen tonsillitis in young children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid further exacerbation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
