Question
A one-year-old child recently developed tonsillitis, accompanied by swelling of the right cheek. The parents have tried medication and injections, but there has been no significant improvement. In this situation, is intravenous treatment an effective option?
Answer
For a one-year-old child experiencing tonsillitis and parotid swelling, it is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital pediatric department for a detailed examination, including routine blood tests and throat swab cultures. The treatment plan should be formulated based on the examination results. At the same time, parents should ensure that the child maintains a light diet, stays well-hydrated, and maintains good oral hygiene. Under the guidance of a professional doctor, intravenous treatment may be part of a comprehensive treatment plan to help the child recover health. It is important for parents to maintain a positive attitude, closely monitor their child’s condition changes, and follow medical instructions.
