Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and I noticed mild coughing. Also, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should I treat tonsil inflammation and redness?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, or local irrigation or topical sprays can be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
