Question

My child is a 9-year-old boy. He has just started to feel a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that he’s coughing quite severely, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?

Answer

The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, along with regional drug sprays or laser therapy. Painkillers can also be administered according to the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate the pain. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can also choose surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Finally, I hope that parents can pay attention to this disease and bring their children for medical treatment as soon as possible. Also, be sure to pay attention to related preventive and health care measures in everyday life.
