Question
Dear Baby, now 2 years old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking, with the voice becoming hoarse. Currently, she is suffering from a persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with red swelling be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
Generally speaking, for pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be adopted, as well as regional treatments such as rinsing or spraying, or even intratonsillar injection of medication, which has a good therapeutic effect. If the symptoms of sore throat are severe, painkillers can be chosen to relieve pain. If there is a fever, consider fever reduction. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. For those with poor drug efficacy and recurrent episodes, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
