Question
My daughter is 8 years old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water, and I noticed that she had difficulty swallowing and seemed to have a persistent low fever. How should red swelling in infants and toddlers with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be chosen according to the child’s condition. If the child’s condition is severe, regional treatments can also be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medicine can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled. During this period, make sure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
