Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 2 years old and has just started saying that she feels pain when swallowing. She also has a more severe cough and a low-grade fever. How should red and swollen tonsillitis in young children be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
It is suggested that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments can be considered for systemic therapy to enhance the effect, such as tonsil lavage and tonsil injection. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered appropriately. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken, and it is recommended to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. If there are recurrent inflammatory attacks, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and sufficient rest time.
