Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in young children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
