Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that his cough was quite severe and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in young children be treated well.Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child is well-protected from the cold to prevent symptoms from worsening due to exposure to cold.
