Question
The 9-year-old girl initially complained of a sore throat, and it was discovered that her coughing was more severe as well, accompanied by a low fever. How should we effectively treat the red swelling in children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the pain in the throat is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. For those with low fever, physical coolingcan be applied. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is suggested to have the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
