Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he has been a little feverish all along. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis with redness and swelling in young children.Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the 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. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
