Question
Baby girl, 4 months old, has pain when swallowing water, voice is slightly hoarse, feverish, and lacks energy. How should red swelling in pediatric tonsillitis be treated for the best results?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are one of the main methods of clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or drug injection. For related throat pain, analgesics can be administered, and antipyretics should be used promptly during persistent fever. If the condition frequently recurs, surgical treatment can be considered after treatment control to avoid recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, it is mainly important to keep warm and avoid exacerbation of symptoms due to colds.
