Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy. Initially, he said he had a sore throat, and I noticed that his coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, he’s been a bit feverish. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
There are various treatment methods for red swelling in children’s tonsillitis. The most commonly used treatment is the administration of antibiotic medications, which can be selected according to the situation. In addition, regional treatments can be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injection of medication. If the child has a sore throat, some painkillers can be given to the child. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, some antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. While being treated, it is also important to arrange for a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help the child recover as soon as possible.
