Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 months old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed things. She noticed that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and she also had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections, which are all good options. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
