Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. I noticed that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and it seemed like his low-grade fever never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injections, etc., which are all good options. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Pay attention to a light diet, and focus on liquid food during the treatment period.
