Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, found, accompanied by mild cough, also, seems like 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. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can also be used. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medications should be administered. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and further inflammation of the tonsils.
