Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. We noticed he also has a mild cough. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat his swollen and red tonsils?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injection of medication, etc., which are all good options. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
