Question
My daughter is 6 years old. Initially, she felt pain when swallowing water and noticed that her coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, she had a low-grade fever. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, regional treatments can include tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. In cases of fever, choose the method of cooling based on body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius can be physically cooled, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius can take oral antipyretics. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent attacks; if similar situations occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging reasonable dietary and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
