Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and then she started coughing more severely. Also, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
