Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, and his cough was quite severe. Moreover, 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:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. While systemic treatment is administered, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation, direct injection of drugs into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can be given to children based on their condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
