Question
The baby girl is only 4 months old, and she feels pain when swallowing water, her voice is hoarse, and she has a persistent high fever. How should we treat the red swelling of the child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis involves the use of antibiotic medications, with the choice of sensitive drugs based on the results of bacterial culture for effective treatment. At the same time, regional treatment measures can be taken, such as gargling and direct medication, to effectively consolidate the treatment effect. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. Some children may have fever as well, and they can take oral antipyretics. If there is no obvious relief, it is imperative to seek medical attention. In addition to medication, if the child has recurrent inflammation, parents should consult with the doctor about whether surgical treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and provide sufficient rest time.
