Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was noticed that he also had mild coughing, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Question: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied locally. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents may consider administering pain relievers as needed to provide relief. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also use fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If your child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment may be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent future episodes.
