Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she said even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She noticed that her cough was quite severe, and she had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How to treat red and swollen tonsillitis in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first, they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. For multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
