Question
Dear Baby, currently 9 years old, at first, felt pain when drinking water and swallowing, discovered that coughing was quite severe, and has been slightly feverish. How should red swelling in infants and young children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is recommended to first use targeted antibiotic medications. For regional treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation is suggested. If the symptoms are mainly throat pain, consider giving some painkillers. If the child has a slight fever, consider appropriate fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For those with recurrent severe acute cases or complications, it is advised to perform tonsillectomy after two weeks of acute inflammation subsiding. During treatment, attention should be given to maintaining good dietary hygiene and sufficient rest.
