Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 1 month old. Initially, he complained of a sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. It seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of children’s tonsillitis. Parents can choose symptomatic medications, or regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to give some painkillers according to the situation. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. 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 develops tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. Finally, I hope parents can pay attention to this disease and take their child for treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, it is also important to do a good job of prevention and health care.
