Question
Dear Parent, our daughter is currently 6 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms such as throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and feverish weakness. How should we treat her red and swollen tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication to their child and consider regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection therapy. Painkillers may also be given to alleviate pain. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. It is recommended to regularly monitor the condition, and if there are repeated episodes, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
