Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old, just starting out. When she talks, she feels a sore throat. She also has a mild cough and a slight fever, and she's not very energetic. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics should be administered. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
