Patient's question:
My male child, who is 3 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that he also had mild coughing and low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be selected to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet, and primarily consume liquid food during the treatment period.
