Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, and local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can also be performed. Pain relievers may be given when necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics should be administered accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
