Question
Baby girl, 1 month old, feels pain in her throat even when drinking water, severe cough, persistent low fever. How should red swelling in pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
Currently, the main clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, which can be selected based on symptoms. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation and injection medications can be considered. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered. For persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly; if the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. In addition to common treatment methods, surgery is also a viable option, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. Parents should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid colds to prevent tonsillitis from recurring.
