Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that he had severe coughing, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to ensure the child receives a light diet and adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
