Question
How should one effectively treat a child’s tonsillitis when it’s red and swollen?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose according to symptoms, and can also opt for regional treatment in addition to systemic treatment to enhance efficacy. This includes methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsil. Painkillers can also be given when necessary, such as when the child has severe throat pain, and physical cooling measures can be taken for low-grade fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents will take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related preventive and health care measures in daily life.
