Question
My daughter is 1 year old. She just started saying she has a sore throat, and I noticed her coughing seems more severe. Moreover, she has a persistent high fever. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For a better treatment of tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, and for more severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections can be combined. For throat pain, painkillers can be administered to the child, and antipyretic drugs can be taken for fever symptoms. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are common treatment methods, but if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is suggested to consider surgery early on. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
