Patient's question:
My daughter is 8 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her cough seemed quite severe as well. She has also had a low-grade fever for a while. Could you please advise on the most effective treatment for tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
