Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She noticed that her cough was quite severe, and it seemed like her low fever never subsided. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretics can be administered orally. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
