Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she felt pain in her throat even when drinking water, and noticed mild coughing. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. These are all common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
