She notices, coughing quite severely, and it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good effects. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is suggested that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
