Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough is quite severe, and it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
