Question
Dear reader, my baby girl is just one month old. She has just started experiencing pain when swallowing water, and it seems her coughing has become more severe. She also has a low-grade fever. How should I treat red swelling in my child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the main methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, which can be selected based on symptoms. In addition to oral medications, some regional treatments can be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to enhance the efficacy. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be administered. If the child has a fever, a reasonable amount of antipyretic medication can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. During the treatment period, pay attention to a light diet, with a focus on liquid foods.
