Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old. At first, he felt sore when saying "gargle water," discovered that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils be treated effectively for a child?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first, they can use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local rinsing or local spraying can also be applied. Symptomatic medication can also be injected into the tonsils, and the efficacy is quite good. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, after the illness is under control, surgical treatment can be considered to prevent recurrence. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
