Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old, at first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. He noticed that his cough seems to be more severe as well, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with swollen and red tonsils be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. Pain relievers can be administered to children, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to enhance immunity and prevent future episodes.
