Question
My daughter is currently 2 years old and has recently been experiencing throat pain, accompanied by severe coughing and slight fever. How should we treat the red swelling of tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medications for their child under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic treatment, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection medications can also be considered. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered in appropriate amounts, and antipyretics can be used if there is fever. It is advised to seek medical attention early for patients with high fever. If the inflammation recurs frequently, surgery may be considered. During treatment, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
