Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. He recently started feeling pain in his throat when speaking and drinking water. I noticed that his coughing seems more severe, and he also has a low-grade fever. What is the best way to treat red swelling in children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Regional rinsing or spraying may also be considered, as well as injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils. These treatments are quite effective. If the child’s throat pain is particularly severe, some painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. In cases of recurrent acute severe episodes or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after two weeks of acute inflammation subsiding. Pay attention to a light diet during treatment and consume mainly liquid foods.
