Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 7 years old. She initially felt a sore throat, her voice was a bit hoarse, and she also had a fever. How should red and swollen tonsillitis in young children be treated?
Answer
Appropriate amounts of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be used for treatment, combining systemic and regional therapy, such as pus pocket irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. Painkillers can be used in moderate amounts when throat pain is severe, and antipyretics can be taken when fever is present. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly in case of high fever. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, pay attention to nutrient supplementation, light diet, and adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
