Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. For local treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is advisable to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can also consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing treatment, it is important to ensure the child follows a light diet and strengthens nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
