Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that his cough seems to be getting worse too. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please ask: How can I effectively treat my child's swollen and red tonsils?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given to children depending on their condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, as they can help alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes, so if similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it's important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
