Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 2 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed she had severe coughing, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all quite effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be primarily followed during the treatment period.
