Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 4 years old, have just started experiencing a slight sore throat. They noticed that their voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and now they have a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local flushing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used. For temperatures above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the medication is not effective 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.
