Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 4 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Then, we noticed she has a mild cough, and also a low fever. Please ask: If the child has swollen and red tonsils, what treatment works best?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. It can also be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar medication injections, which are all effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment should be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
