Question
My son is 8 years old. Initially, he had a slight pain in his throat, accompanied by a mild cough. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should red swelling in infants and toddlers with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child’s throat is particularly painful, some analgesic medication can be given accordingly. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken. It is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for high fever. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child has recurrent tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
