Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his cough also seemed quite severe, and he had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
