Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, noticed, accompanied by mild cough, and, seems like low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: How should pharyngitis with red and swollen tonsils be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, or use local medications such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C. If drug efficacy is poor and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
