Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she said it hurts when swallowing things. It was found that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, local rinsing, or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which are effective. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar episodes occur, surgery may be considered once the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is important to arrange a balanced diet and proper rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
