Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old, just starting out. When she talks, she feels a sore throat. She also finds that her cough seems quite severe, and she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated for the child to be most effective?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravating symptoms by catching a cold.
