Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that her cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. Moreover, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
