Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. Finally, it is important for parents to take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment early for their child, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
