Question
Dear Baby, currently 6 years old, at first, she felt pain when swallowing water, noticed a more severe cough, and it seems like the low fever has never subsided. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Generally speaking, if it’s a case of pediatric tonsillitis, it is effective to give the child some antibiotics according to the symptoms. Regional medication can also be used, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If the child continues to have a fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrence. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure enough rest time.
