Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough is quite severe and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can I treat my child's tonsillitis redness and swelling effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child still has a slight fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm to prevent worsening symptoms due to cold exposure.
