Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she said it hurts when swallowing things, noticed that her cough is quite severe, and she has had a slight fever all along. Please 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, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all quite effective. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are currently the most commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and focus on a liquid diet.
