Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old, just started, a little sore throat, found that cough seems to be more serious, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, attention should also be paid to arranging a light diet for the child, enhancing nutritional supplementation, and helping to facilitate early recovery.
