Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore, and it was found that she also had mild coughing. At the same time, 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 based on symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct topical application, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be administered orally. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and supplement nutrients to help them recover as soon as possible.
