Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old, just starting, a little sore in the throat, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can you treat tonsillitis effectively when the tonsils are swollen and red?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. At the same time as taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
