Question
My 7-year-old son, just started, saying he’s sore when swallowing, noticed that, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and also a bit feverish and not very energetic. How should red swelling in infants and toddlers with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, first, you can use symptomatic antibiotic medications, and also can carry out regional treatments, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, laser treatment, etc. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to give some painkillers according to the situation. If the child still has a fever, then it should be treated with antipyretics appropriately. If the fever is above 40 degrees Celsius, then it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently has inflammation, parents can also consult a doctor to consider surgery for treatment during this period. Pay attention to letting the child rest sufficiently and eating more vegetables and fruits.
