Question
A baby girl, just 3 months old, is experiencing throat pain, along with severe coughing and persistent low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with red swelling be treated?
Answer
Treatment can involve providing symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, along with some regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication to enhance efficacy. If the child has severe throat pain, consider using painkillers to relieve symptoms. If there is fever, antipyretic medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. If the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment early on. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and pay attention to getting plenty of rest and avoiding fatigue.
