Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated for the child to be most effective.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. 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 a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
