Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things, found that coughing seems to be quite severe too, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, and they can be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
