Question
My daughter is 4 years old. Initially, she had a slight pain in her throat, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe, and she seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. Regional treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. Painkillers can also be administered to children with throat pain. If they have a slight fever, it should be considered to reduce the fever. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If a child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery early. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
