Question
Dear parents, our son is just over 4 months old. He has started to have a slight sore throat, and we’ve noticed that his coughing seems more severe. Additionally, he has a persistent high fever that doesn’t seem to go away. How should we treat red swelling in children’s tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
It is recommended that parents consult with a doctor to choose the appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medication for their child, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection with medication. If the symptoms are mainly throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, some antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
