Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he had been running a low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngeal tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in young children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
