Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and then discovered that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, he had a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed appropriately, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
