Question
Dear Parent, My son is just over 4 months old. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water and his throat hurt. He also has a slight cough. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Treatment for children’s tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. If the child’s condition is severe, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered. If the child has a fever, it should be treated accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For those with repeated acute severe episodes or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
