Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, noticed that her cough was quite severe, and it seemed like her low-grade fever never subsided. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
