Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He found that it was accompanied by a slight cough, and he was a little feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. 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 given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed during treatment.
