Question
A 3-year-old boy, experiencing pain when swallowing and a slight cough, now has a persistent high fever. How should red swelling in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis is to administer oral antibiotics, along with regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation, regional injections of medication, and laser therapy. For throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be given; for fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be used; and in severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to medication, if the child frequently suffers from inflammation, surgical treatment may also be considered. Maintain a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
