Question
Dear Parent, Our daughter is currently 6 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and we noticed that her coughing seems more severe. She also has a low-grade fever. How should we treat red and swollen tonsils in children effectively?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently among the main methods for clinically treating pediatric tonsillitis. Suitable medications can be selected for treatment based on the symptoms. Regional rinsing, regional spraying, or intratonsillar injections can all provide effective therapy. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, painkillers can be considered to relieve the pain. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. For recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. We hope that parents can pay attention to their child’s symptoms, seek medical treatment promptly, and pay attention to prevention and health care.
