Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. They can be selected as appropriate. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can be used in conjunction. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. If the child has a fever, antipyretics should be given as needed. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent colds and further inflammation of the tonsils.
