Question
A 7-year-old boy recently experienced throat pain, discomfort when drinking water, accompanied by mild coughing and fever, and a lack of energy. I would like to ask how to treat red swelling in children’s tonsillitis for the best effect?
Answer
Currently, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the main treatments for pediatric tonsillitis, with appropriate choices based on symptoms. Additionally, local treatments such as tonsil lavage or injection of medication can be combined. For severe throat pain, analgesics can be used in moderation, and antipyretics can be taken for fever. It is recommended to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. If the condition occurs frequently, consider surgery after disease control to avoid recurrent attacks. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to diet and hygiene as well as adequate rest time.
