Question
My daughter is 3 years old. She just started saying she has a sore throat, and I noticed she has a slight cough as well. She’s also been a bit feverish. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For a more effective treatment of tonsillitis, one can opt for some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, and also combine them with regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection medications, which are quite effective. For children with obvious throat pain, analgesics can be administered; for those with persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly; physical cooling can be employed if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius; and for those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is crucial to ensure the child stays warm and to avoid exacerbating symptoms due to catching a cold.
