Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and at the same time, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar medication injections, which are all good options. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-protected from the cold to prevent the symptoms from worsening.
