Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He also found that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing drugs can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
