Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she said her throat hurt even when she drank water. She also had mild coughing. Now, she has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
