Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing things, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when talking, and he has a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. For children with fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
