Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then found that his cough seemed to be getting worse. At the same time, it seemed like his low fever hadn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis, and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is recommended as early as possible. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help them recover quickly.
