Question
My daughter is currently 1 year old and feels pain when swallowing water. She has a slight cough and fever with a lack of energy. How should I treat her swollen and red tonsils?
Answer
During treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child’s symptoms, and regional treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, such as cryptocleavage irrigation and direct tonsil injection. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, parents can consider giving pain relievers. If the child continues to have a fever, fever-reducing medication can be given or immediate medical attention should be sought. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, and if the situation is similar, surgery can be considered after controlling the inflammation. It is recommended that parents pay attention to the disease, seek medical treatment early, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work.
