Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 9 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can I treat my child's swollen and red tonsils effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
