Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water, noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar medication injections, which are all quite effective. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is suggested that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
