Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 9 years old, at first, felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used in conjunction. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
