Question
Baby boy, just over 2 months old, initially, felt pain when swallowing water, discovered, accompanied by slight coughing, and seemed to have a low-grade fever that never went away. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Generally speaking, if it is children’s tonsillitis, it is recommended to give the child some antibiotics according to symptoms, which are quite effective. For regional treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is suggested. If necessary, such as when the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If there is a fever, choose a cooling method based on body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius can be cooled physically, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius may require oral antipyretics. These methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also an option and is suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
