Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something, and he noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and also had a low fever. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. These are all common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider early surgery. While treating the condition, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
