Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 3 years old. At first, he felt sore when drinking water, and then found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. At the same time, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should pharyngeal tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in young children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also ensure their children stay warm to prevent colds that could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
