Patient's question:
My little girl is one year old. At first, she said her throat hurts. I noticed that her cough seems to be getting worse as well. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
