Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he felt pain even when drinking water with his throat, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. While treating the condition, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
