Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough is quite severe and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in young children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
