Question
How should children with red, swollen tonsillitis be treated for the best results?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis with red swelling, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory drugs while undergoing systemic treatment. Additionally, some regional treatment methods can be chosen to enhance the efficacy, such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsil. If the child has throat pain, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If fever is present, medications with fever-reducing effects can be used. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. Besides medication treatment, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment can also be considered. During the treatment period, children should pay attention to a light diet, focusing on liquid foods for consumption.
