Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 6 years old and has a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a persistent low fever. How should red and swollen tonsillitis in children be treated?
Answer
The current main treatments for pediatric tonsillitis include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intramuscular drug injection, and laser therapy. For sore throat symptoms, analgesics can be considered. If there is a persistent fever, oral fever-reducing drugs can be taken. If the condition recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement nutrition, maintain a light diet, and ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
