Question
A 4-year-old boy initially felt pain when swallowing water, and he has been experiencing severe coughing and a bit of fever with a lack of energy. How should one treat a child’s swollen tonsils for effective relief?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, they can first be treated with targeted antibiotic medications. Regional rinsing or spraying can also be used, or symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils, which are all effective treatments. Painkillers can be administered to the child for sore throat, and physical cooling methods can be used for low-grade fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the illness is controlled to avoid recurrence. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep habits for your child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
