Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 4 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and she was found to have a more severe cough. Also, she had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
