Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. Initially, he felt pain when swallowing water, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Moreover, he now has a persistent high fever. How can red swelling in infants’ tonsillitis be effectively treated?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. While taking the medication, some regional treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to consolidate the efficacy. For children with prominent throat pain symptoms, analgesic medication can be used. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also administer antipyretic medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. After the condition improves, it is suggested to have the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
