Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should I treat my child's swollen and red tonsils?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
