Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat and noticed mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. 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. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
