Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just starting, feels sore throat when talking, found that cough seems to be more serious as well, and has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated for children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication may also be used. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
