Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections are all good options. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, some fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, it's important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
