Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 months old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed things. He noticed that his cough was quite severe. At the same time, 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:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. Local treatments can also be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. 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.
