Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing. It was found that his cough was quite severe, and now he still has a high fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery early. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Additionally, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
