Question
A one-month-old male infant presents with pain during swallowing, accompanied by coughing and low-grade fever. Examination reveals redness of the tonsils. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment of red swelling in children’s tonsillitis can be based on the results of bacterial culture and the selection of sensitive antibiotic medications. Regional rinsing or spraying, as well as intratonsillar injection of symptomatic drugs, can also be effective. If the main symptom is throat pain, analgesic drugs can be considered. If fever is present, fever reduction measures should be taken according to the situation; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. In addition to medication treatment, if the child has recurrent inflammation, parents can consider surgical treatment under the advice of a doctor. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
