Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and it was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Pain relievers can be given when necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
