Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 9 years old. Initially, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed that she has been coughing more severely, and she seems to have a persistent low fever. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
There are several treatment methods for children’s tonsillitis:
- Parents can give the child some anti-inflammatory medications.
- Regional treatments can be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injections.
- If the child has throat pain, some painkillers can be administered as appropriate.
- If the child has a fever, a suitable antipyretic can be taken; however, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.
- If the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. In addition, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to aid in a quick recovery.
