Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. It was found that it is accompanied by mild cough, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has a good effect. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections, which are all effective. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention should be sought. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
