Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 8 years old. At first, she said her throat hurt even when she drank water. I noticed she had severe coughing and also had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsil inflammation with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications should be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
