Question
Dear Baby, currently 4 years old, just started saying that her throat is sore, and noticed that her voice sounds a bit hoarse and she has a low-grade fever. How should red swelling of pediatric tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
Antibiotics are currently one of the more commonly used treatments for tonsillitis and can be chosen appropriately. Regional rinsing or spraying can also be considered, along with symptomatic medication injections into the tonsils, which are all effective treatments. In cases of sore throat, painkillers can be given to the child. For persistent fever, antipyretics should be administered promptly. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can also choose surgical treatment under a doctor’s guidance. At the same time, it is important to arrange for a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in a quicker recovery.
