Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 1 year old. She recently started having pain when swallowing water, difficulty in swallowing, and persistent fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis with red swelling?
Answer
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered, along with regional rinsing or spraying, or injection of symptomatic medication. If the main symptom is throat pain, analgesics may be considered. Antipyretics should be used promptly if there is persistent fever, and physical cooling can be considered if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child has recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should pay attention to the disease and seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Pay attention to prevention and health care in daily life.
