Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. At first, she felt pain even when drinking water, and it was found that she had mild coughing, and she was a little feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, the first step is to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication 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 primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider administering pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Lastly, it is important for parents to take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment for their child as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
