Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. He recently started saying that drinking water or swallowing feels painful. I noticed that he seems to have difficulty swallowing and is also running a low fever. How should red swelling in pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
To better treat red swelling in pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to select some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor. For regional treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation is suggested. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered according to the situation. For those with low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently recurs inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help recover as soon as possible.
