Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that he also had mild coughing and a slight fever, and he wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat red and swollen tonsils in children.Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain-relieving medication is advised to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. While undergoing treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
