Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he 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:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered appropriately, or local treatments can be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
