Patient's question:
Boy, already 5 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough is quite severe, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
