Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, his throat felt a bit sore. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with swollen and red tonsils be treated in young children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can give appropriate analgesics to relieve the pain. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
