Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 months old, just starting, a little sore in the throat, found that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, she 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:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is advisable to administer pain relievers based on the situation. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light and easily digestible foods. Additionally, adequate rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
