Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water, and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child's throat is particularly painful, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is required. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
