Question
A 7-year-old boy reports a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and persistent fever. How should one treat a child’s swollen, red tonsils effectively?
Answer
Treatment should first involve symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs based on the symptoms, and regional treatments can be carried out, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, internal medication injections, and laser therapy. Painkillers can be used if necessary. If the fever persists, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the condition frequently recurs, surgical treatment can be considered after control. It is recommended that after recovery, the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
