Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water, and he noticed mild coughing. Also, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
