Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just started, saying it hurts to swallow things, found that coughing is quite severe, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are advised to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is suggested two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
