Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 5 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, noticed it, and then had severe coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with redness and swelling in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, analgesic medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
