Question
My daughter is 4 years old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water and her throat seemed sore. She also had a severe cough and a bit of fever, lacking energy. How should red swelling of pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of red swelling of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose according to symptoms. For regional treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or pharmaceutical rinses. For children with pronounced throat pain, analgesic medication can be used. If the child continues to have a fever, apply antipyretic medication promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be applied. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
