Patient's question:
My daughter is 7 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also noticed that her cough seemed more severe, and she had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all quite effective. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
