Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said his throat was sore, and it was found to be accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. 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. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given to the child, especially when the throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If the child has fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
