Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just starting out. When speaking, she feels a sore throat. She notices, coughing is quite severe, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated 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 according to symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing drugs can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
