Question

How to treat red swelling in children with tonsillitis?

Answer

If a child has tonsillitis, it is first recommended to use symptomatic antibiotic medications for treatment. Additionally, regional treatments can be administered, such as through tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections. If the child experiences severe throat pain, it is advisable to choose some painkillers to alleviate symptoms. At the same time, if there is a low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be adopted. If the child’s body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is suggested to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. During the treatment period, pay attention to a light diet, mainly consisting of liquid foods.
