Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. I noticed that he also has mild coughing and a slight fever, and he's not very energetic. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
