Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and she noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. They can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
