Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat was sore. Upon observation, his cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, analgesics can be given appropriately. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
