Question
My son is 2 years old. Initially, he felt pain in his throat and when drinking water, accompanied by coughing and high fever. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated for the best effect?
Answer
When treating red swelling in children’s tonsillitis, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child and carry out local treatments such as gargling and direct medication to consolidate the effect. If the child experiences throat pain, painkillers can be considered. For fever, a moderate dose of fever-reducing medicine can be used, but if there is persistent high fever, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the tonsils repeatedly become inflamed, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents should pay attention to keeping the child warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent a recurrence of tonsillitis.
