Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that his cough is quite severe. Also, it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis if my child's tonsils are swollen and red?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be administered promptly. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
