Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat red and swollen tonsillitis in infants and young children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
