Question
The boy is three years old and initially complained of throat pain and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a low-grade fever. I would like to ask how to effectively treat red swelling in children’s tonsillitis.
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice is with antibiotic medications. You can choose sensitive drugs based on bacterial culture, or opt for regional irrigation or spraying. These methods are quite effective. Symptomatic medications can also be injected into the tonsils. Administering appropriate pain relievers can alleviate pain, especially severe throat pain. If the child has a mild fever, consider fever reduction. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees, seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence; if similar conditions arise, surgery can be considered after controlling the inflammation. At the same time, pay attention to giving the child a light diet and enhancing nutritional supplementation, which will help in a quicker recovery.
