Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, it seemed like she had a low-grade fever that never went away. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis with redness and swelling?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, it is necessary to pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue.
