Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Upon noticing, her cough seems to be quite severe as well, and it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exposure to cold to alleviate symptoms.
