Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child also has low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
