Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 2 years old, initially said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She was also found to have severe coughing, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, local flushing, or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils, all of which are effective. If a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers may be recommended based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it's important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
