Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He also found that his cough seemed quite severe, and he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good effects. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, after the illness is under control, surgical treatment can be considered to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
