Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, and I noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local flushing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during the treatment period.
