Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing things. It was found that her cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be if the child's tonsils are inflamed and swollen?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
