Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he felt pain even when drinking water, and then he started having severe coughing. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should 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. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
