Question
Baby girl, 1 year old, recently showing symptoms of throat pain and difficulty swallowing, and has been running a low fever. How should red swelling of infants’ tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Treatment methods include using symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications, and regional treatments can be considered, such as cleaning the tonsillar crypts, administering injections, or using laser therapy. For children with significant throat pain, painkillers can be used. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence; if symptoms persist, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet consisting mainly of light foods, get plenty of rest, and avoid fatigue.
