Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old, just started, said her throat hurts, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she has a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
First, for treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
