Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 5 years old and has just started to complain of a sore throat while speaking. I noticed she is coughing quite severely and seems to have a persistent low-grade fever. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the primary methods and medications used in the clinical treatment of children’s tonsillitis. Parents can choose treatments according to symptoms. While taking medication, one can also undergo some local treatments, such as rinsing or direct medication, to consolidate the efficacy. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the symptoms cannot be alleviated, it is imperative to seek medical attention. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
