Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. It was found that his cough was quite severe, and he had a slight fever all the time. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be used to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
