Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If a child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
