Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old, initially said she had pain when swallowing. It was discovered that she also had mild coughing and a slight fever, and she wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to alleviate the symptoms. If a child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
