Question
A 7-year-old boy, at first, complained of a sore throat, accompanied by slight coughing and a low-grade fever. How should red swelling in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, the first step is to use symptomatic antibiotic medications, and regional treatment methods can also be used, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. Painkillers can also be given if the child’s sore throat is particularly severe. If the child has a fever, it should be treated appropriately. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrent episodes. During treatment, also pay attention to giving your child a light diet and enhancing nutritional supplementation to aid recovery.
