Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he said his throat felt painful even when drinking water, and he noticed mild coughing. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
