Question
Baby girl, 3 months old, with sore throat, severe cough, and persistent high fever. How should we treat the red swelling in children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional treatment can be chosen through laser or drug irrigation. Painkillers should be administered as necessary, especially when there is severe throat pain, which can help alleviate the discomfort. Use fever-reducing medication promptly if the fever persists. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. Surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent attacks, during which the child should be allowed to rest adequately and increase their intake of fruits and vegetables.
