Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Local flushing or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which are quite effective. If the sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
