Question
A boy, 8 years old, has just started to complain about pain when swallowing. He also has a more severe cough and has been slightly feverish. How should red swelling in infants and toddlers with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic medications are mainly used, and sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, with good effects. Regional treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered appropriately. For low-grade fever, physical coolingcan be applied. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
