Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 4 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. I noticed that her cough seemed to be getting worse too, and it looked like her low-grade fever just wouldn't go away. I'm asking: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. While systemic treatment is administered, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, and so on. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is recommended as early as possible. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred during treatment.
