Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking and noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections can also be performed. If the sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be administered orally. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider early surgery. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
