Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and then we noticed his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics may be administered. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. Additionally, it is important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to aid in early recovery.
