Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed mild coughing, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication should be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
