Question
Dear Baby, she’s just 2 months old and just started to feel pain when drinking water, and she says her throat is sore. I noticed that she’s been coughing quite severely, and it seems like she’s had a low fever that hasn’t gone away. How should red swelling of pediatric tonsillitis be treated for the best effect?
Answer
When treating red swelling of pediatric tonsillitis, first provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. You can also perform regional irrigation or spray medication, and inject symptomatic medication into the tonsils. Painkillers can relieve throat pain symptoms, and antipyretics or physical cooling methods should be used promptly if the fever exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, consider surgical treatment, while also paying attention to reasonable diet and rest habits to assist in early recovery.
