Question
A boy, already 2 years old, initially had a slight sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and also had a slight fever and lack of energy. How should a child with red and swollen tonsils be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, the following treatment methods can be adopted: first, use appropriate antibiotic medications for symptomatic treatment, and consider regional treatments such as rinsing the tonsils or directly applying medication to reinforce the efficacy. For children with pronounced throat pain, appropriate pain relievers can be used for relief. If the child continues to have a fever, timely use of fever-reducing medication is recommended. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be tried. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, parents can consult with a doctor and consider surgical treatment. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children for medical treatment as early as possible. Also, in daily life, pay attention to related prevention and health care work.
