Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, it is accompanied by mild cough, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be treated.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. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
