Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
