Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that his cough was quite severe, and at the same time, he had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children.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 opt for local irrigation or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good efficacy. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also ensure their children stay warm to prevent colds and further inflammation of the tonsils.
