Question
A baby boy, just over 8 months old, has just started complaining of pain when swallowing. He has noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse during speech and has been running a fever. What is the most effective way to treat red swelling in children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Treating children’s tonsillitis first involves giving the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. If necessary, such as when the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These methods are among the commonly used treatments for tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition and that their diet is kept light. Rest and avoiding fatigue should also be noted.
