Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. He also had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can be combined. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
