Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough is quite severe, and he also has a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated 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. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods, and to get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
