Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, at first, felt sore throat even when drinking water, and found mild cough. At the same time, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms and may also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if a fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
