Question
Dear Baby, she is only 4 months old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and it seems that her cough is more severe. She also has a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. How should we treat red swelling of a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating this condition, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotics, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken as needed, but if the fever persists, medical attention must be sought promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, attention should also be paid to maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
