Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
