Question
The baby girl, just 5 months old, initially complained of pain when swallowing. Upon observation, it seems her cough has also become more severe, and she has a low-grade fever. How should red swelling in pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is advisable to provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, and can also be supplemented with some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injections with medication, etc., which are all effective options. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, analgesic medication can be used. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. In case of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is suggested to consider surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
