Question
Dear Baby, currently 7 years old, at first, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and it was noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she has had a slight fever. What should be the appropriate treatment for red and swollen tonsillitis in young children?
Answer
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered, and regional treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can be conducted simultaneously to consolidate the efficacy. Painkillers can be given when the child’s throat pain is severe, and fever reducers can be taken if there are fever symptoms. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child’s warmth and avoid exacerbating symptoms due to colds.
