Question
My baby is 1 month old, has a slight sore throat, a mild cough, fever, and lacks energy. How should red swelling of a child’s tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
For the treatment of such diseases, we can administer some symptomatic antibiotic medications to the child and perform regional treatments, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, and laser therapy. If the child primarily experiences throat pain, it is recommended that parents give a moderate amount of pain relief medication. If the child has a fever, some antipyretic medications can be taken. If the symptoms are severe, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to the above medication treatment methods, if the child frequently recurs tonsillitis, surgical treatment can also be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging reasonable dietary and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
