Question
My daughter is 3 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe. Moreover, she seems to have a persistent low fever. How should I treat red swelling in a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating this kind of illness, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotics, as well as regional medication sprays or laser therapy. In cases of throat pain, you can also give the child some painkillers. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give them oral fever-reducing medication. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. If there are repeated acute severe cases or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Pay attention to a light diet during treatment, and mainly consume liquid foods.
