Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 4 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered mild coughing. Also, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
