Question
Dear Parent, my baby girl is only 3 months old and has recently been complaining of a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a low-grade fever. How should red and swollen tonsils in young children be treated for the best results?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on the results of bacterial culture. In addition to systemic treatment, regional treatment measures can also be taken, such as pus pocket irrigation and direct tonsil medication injection. For throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered; for fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, medical assistance should be sought as soon as possible. If the child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment may be considered after treatment control to prevent recurrent episodes. At the same time, attention should be paid to a balanced diet with light and nutritious food to aid in a quick recovery.
