Question
My daughter is 6 years old. She recently started saying that drinking water hurts her throat, and I noticed she has a slight cough. Now she has a persistent high fever. How should red swelling in infants’ tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The first step in treating pediatric tonsillitis is for parents to give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, regional treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to consolidate the effectiveness of the treatment. If the child’s sore throat is severe, it is recommended to give them painkillers according to the situation. For fever symptoms, antipyretic drugs can be administered. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention early and even consider surgical treatment. At the same time, it is also important to pay attention to arranging the child’s reasonable diet and sleep habits to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
