Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and then it was discovered that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he 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:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils, all of which have good effects. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. In addition to the above medication treatments, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
