Question
My daughter is 3 years old, and she has recently been experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis with redness and swelling?
Answer
For a child’s tonsillitis with redness and swelling, you may consider administering antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, along with local treatments such as cleaning the crypts or injecting medications. If the throat pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be used; if there is a persistent fever, timely use of fever-reducing medication to lower the temperature is recommended. After controlling the inflammation, if the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
