Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 6 years old. Initially, she said her throat hurt, and I noticed she had difficulty swallowing and a bit of fever with lack of energy. How should I treat red swelling in a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. For regional treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is recommended. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be given. If the child has a fever, it is permissible to give some fever-reducing medicine. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgery for treatment. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
