Patient's question:
My daughter is 7 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she had a low fever. I would like to ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can be combined. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be taken. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Additionally, it is necessary to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
