Patient's question:
Female baby, only 6 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, noticed that, cough seems to be more severe, and now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis redness and swelling in the child?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication may also be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be chosen to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, it is essential to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
