Question
Dear parents, our 5-year-old daughter has been complaining of a sore throat with a slight cough and a mild fever recently. How should we treat the red swelling in her tonsillitis?
Answer
For such conditions, it is advisable to give the child the appropriate antibiotic. If the situation is severe, consider regional treatments such as pus pocket irrigation or injection medications. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. For fever, antipyretics can be taken. In case of severe symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are recurrent episodes or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. It is advised that parents pay attention to the disease and seek timely medical treatment, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
