Question
My daughter is 7 years old. She recently started to feel pain when swallowing and drinking water. I noticed that her coughing seems more severe, and she also has a slight fever and lacks energy. What should be the appropriate treatment for red swelling in children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Firstly, parents can administer some anti-inflammatory medications to their child and simultaneously complement this with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are good options. If the child experiences throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a slight fever, consider mild fever reduction measures. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery may also be considered. At the same time, it is important to arrange for a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
