Question
My daughter is 2 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and fever. How should red swelling in pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
In most cases, antibiotic treatment can be used for pediatric tonsillitis, along with regional cleaning or spraying, or injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsil area, all of which can achieve good results. If the child’s sore throat is severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, a small amount of antipyretic medication can be used. However, if the fever persists, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently gets tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and lifestyle to help the disease recover sooner.
