Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. Some children may also have fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, medical attention must be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
