Question
My daughter is only 9 months old, and she recently has a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a low-grade fever. How should I treat red swelling in a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can include oral anti-inflammatory medication and regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation, intralesional injections, or laser therapy. If the main symptom is sore throat, painkillers may be considered; if there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. If the high fever persists, it is recommended to seek medical assistance. If symptoms recur frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the condition.
