Question
My daughter is 5 years old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe. She has also had a slight fever. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
To achieve better treatment results, it is recommended to select some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and undergo local treatments such as tonsil washing or drug injections. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, it is advised to administer painkillers to alleviate the pain and control low-grade fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. Moreover, parents should ensure their child stays warm to prevent colds from triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
