Question
A one-year-old girl is experiencing throat pain, which is particularly uncomfortable when drinking water, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent high fever. How should one handle the situation of red swelling in children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
For red swelling in children’s tonsillitis, antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medications can be considered for treatment, along with local rinsing or spraying to alleviate symptoms. Intra-tonsillar injection of symptomatic medication is also effective. For throat pain, painkillers can be administered. Some children may have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not subside, immediate medical attention should be sought. For children who frequently experience such conditions, surgery can be considered after the disease is controlled to prevent recurrent episodes. Parents should take this disease seriously, take their children to the doctor in a timely manner, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures in daily life.
