Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 2 months old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Also, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
