Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 5 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water felt painful in his throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsil inflammation with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be applied. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. In addition to these pharmacological treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
