Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she said it hurts when swallowing things. It was found that her cough is quite severe, and she also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How to treat pharyngeal tonsillitis with redness and swelling in young children.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. Local treatments can also be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can administer pain relievers as needed. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; if the temperature is above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be given. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
