Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and swollen, how should they be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injection into the tonsils. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
