Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 5 months old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when talking and found that swallowing was a bit difficult. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should red swelling in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic administration of anti-inflammatory medication is recommended, and regional treatment options such as laser therapy or medicated irrigation are suggested. If the sore throat is severe, analgesics can be appropriately administered. If the child has a fever, paracetamol can be considered, but if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes; if similar conditions arise, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and rest routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
