Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, he said it hurts to swallow things, and noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngeal tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in young children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, or local irrigation or topical sprays can be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While undergoing treatment, it is important to ensure the child has a light diet and adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
