Question
Dear Baby, she’s just 7 months old. Initially, there was a bit of pain in the throat, and I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Now, she has a persistent high fever. How should we treat the red swelling of pediatric tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
There are various effective treatment methods for the red swelling of pediatric tonsillitis. Firstly, under the guidance of a doctor, you can choose some medications with anti-inflammatory effects for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, you can enhance the efficacy through regional treatments, such as pus cavity irrigation and direct tonsil injection with medication. If the throat pain is severe, you can give some painkillers. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medications or seek medical attention immediately. In addition to common treatment methods, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Moreover, during the treatment period, pay attention to a light diet and mainly consume liquid foods.
