Question
Dear Baby, currently 8 years old, just started to say that her throat is sore, noticed that it is accompanied by slight coughing, and a bit feverish with lack of energy. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. You can also complement with some local treatments, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are quite effective. If the child has a particularly sore throat, you can also consider giving some painkillers. If the child keeps running a fever, parents should also administer some fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
