Question
An 8-year-old boy, a primary school student, initially reported pain while swallowing and accompanied by a slight cough. He is currently suffering from persistent high fever. How should red swelling of the tonsils in children be treated?
Answer
For tonsillitis treatment, medication with anti-inflammatory effects can be chosen under a doctor’s guidance, and regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can be used. If the child has severe throat pain, analgesics can be administered as needed. If the high fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be considered. These methods are currently commonly used for tonsillitis treatment. Additionally, for children with recurrent episodes, surgical treatment is also an option. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
