Question
A male infant just over 2 months old has started to feel throat pain, accompanied by severe coughing and a slight fever, and is listless. How should red swelling in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
To treat tonsillitis effectively, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, while also undergoing local treatments such as gargling or applying ointments to reinforce the treatment. Painkillers may also be considered to relieve severe throat pain, and in case of fever, it is necessary to cool down. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a recurring inflammation condition, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, pay attention to nutritional supplements, eat a light diet, rest more, and avoid overexertion.
