Question
My daughter is 1 year old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, noticed a hoarse voice when speaking, and has been slightly feverish. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Treatment can initially involve symptomatic medications based on the child’s symptoms, or regional medication such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. For sore throat, painkillers can be administered to the child. In cases of low fever, physical coolingcan be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. These are common treatment methods, but if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children well-warmed to prevent colds and recurrent tonsillitis.
