Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat, and I noticed that his cough seemed quite severe as well. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. I would like to ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. They can be selected as needed. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help with early recovery.
