Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. It was found that her cough seemed to be more serious as well. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child has a relatively sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is required. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During daily life, maintain a light diet, and focus on liquid foods during the treatment period.
