Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 4 years old, initially had a slightly sore throat. She also seemed to have more severe coughing, and it appeared that her low-grade fever hadn't gone away. I would like to ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While systemic treatment is administered, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, and so on. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is recommended as early as possible. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
