Question
My daughter is 7 years old and has started experiencing throat pain and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by slight fever and low energy. How should we treat red swelling in a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can initially include oral anti-inflammatory medications, supplemented by local treatment methods such as tonsil lavage or injection of medication. If the throat pain is severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If the fever persists, it is important to seek timely fever reduction or medical attention. Tonsillitis often recurs, and after controlling the inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment process, attention should be paid to keeping warm to avoid exacerbating symptoms.
