Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and it was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsil inflammation and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be used for the child. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
