Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something, and then we noticed his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is advised at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
