Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to manage it accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
