Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. At the same time, it seemed like her low-grade fever never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use analgesics to relieve the pain. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
