Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old, initially said that she felt pain when swallowing things. I noticed that her swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she also had a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be employed. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
