Question

Dear Baby, currently 2 years old, at first, she said her throat was sore, and I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and she also had a slight fever and seemed less energetic. How should I treat red swelling in a child’s tonsillitis effectively?

Answer

The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, and it can also include regional drug sprays or laser therapy. If the child is primarily experiencing throat pain, parents may consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to cool down accordingly; if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. For children with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. Lastly, I hope that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Also, pay attention to related preventive and health care work in daily life.
