Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 6 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing things, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, also a little fever and no energy, please ask: How to treat tonsillitis with redness and swelling in young children.

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
