Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. It was found that the cough was quite severe, and it seemed like the low fever hadn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, and local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections are all good options. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take some fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
