Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old, at the beginning, felt sore throat even when drinking water, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated properly for the child.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child still has a fever, it should be treated accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
