Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was noticed that he also has a mild cough. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsil inflammation and redness be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which are quite effective. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, you can consider taking fever-reducing medication as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
