Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old, initially said she had a sore throat. She also had mild coughing. Additionally, she has been slightly feverish. I would like to ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and you can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injection medications, which are all good options. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
