Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and now he 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:
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. While systemic treatment is administered, local treatments can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
