Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes, so if similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
