Question
The 2-year-old girl initially complained of pain when swallowing, and it was noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse, accompanied by low fever. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, regional rinsing or spray, and intratonsillar injection of symptomatic medications, all of which are effective. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, painkillers may be recommended to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, if there is fever, antipyretics can be taken. It is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly if the fever persists. Tonsillitis has a tendency to recur, so after the inflammation is controlled, surgery can be considered. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to aid in recovery.
