Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old, just started saying he has a sore throat. Noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he has had a low fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
