Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and I noticed she also had mild coughing. Additionally, she has had a slightly feverish condition for quite some time. I would like to ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. For recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Maintain a light diet, and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
