Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and now she 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:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms, or opt for local rinsing or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if the child has a fever, they can also take some fever-reducing medication. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible.In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical guidance. During daily life, it is important to maintain a light diet, and during the treatment period, a liquid diet should be prioritized.
