Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also had mild coughing. Additionally, she had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. If the sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Rest should also be prioritized to avoid fatigue.
