Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 1 year old. At first, she felt pain even when drinking water, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis and redness/swelling?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, local flushing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Lastly, it is important for parents to take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment for their child as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
