Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old, just starting, saying it hurts when swallowing, found that coughing is quite severe, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can also be used. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
