Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. I noticed that her cough seemed quite severe as well, and she had been running a low fever for a while. I would like to ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in young children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medication can be given as appropriate. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are recurrent inflammation cases, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
