Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She then developed severe coughing and also had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local flushing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment. The efficacy is quite good. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
