Question
Dear Baby Girl, she is currently 6 years old. Initially, she said she had a sore throat, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe. Moreover, she has now developed a persistent fever. How should red and swollen tonsillitis in children be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, along with regional drug sprays or laser therapy. If the child experiences severe throat pain, it is recommended to give some painkillers. In case of fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. It is advisable to seek medical attention early for high fever. In addition, surgery is also a viable treatment option, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
