Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 4 years old. At first, he felt sore when drinking water, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the swollen and red tonsils of the child be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has a good effect. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
