Question
The baby girl, just 3 months old, initially felt pain when drinking water, noticed difficulty in swallowing, and it seems like she has had a persistent low fever. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Currently, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice mainly involves antibiotic medications, which can select sensitive drugs based on bacterial culture and have good efficacy. At the same time, regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication can be carried out to consolidate the treatment effect. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of throat pain, parents may consider giving some painkillers to relieve the discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. For those with poor drug efficacy and recurrent episodes, surgical treatment is recommended. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related preventive and health care measures in their daily lives.
