Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, local flushing, or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for better efficacy. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics should be administered. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
