Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and we noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the medication is not effective and the symptoms recur frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of the symptoms.
