Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt a slight sore throat, noticed it, and then experienced severe coughing. Additionally, he has a low fever. Question: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied locally. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while oral fever-reducing medication is recommended for temperatures above 38.5 degrees Celsius. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
