Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of a sore throat and found that swallowing was a bit difficult. Additionally, he seems to have had a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
It is recommended for parents to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor for their child, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsil. If the main symptom is throat pain, consider administering painkillers. Some children may also have a fever, in which case, oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If a child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, also pay attention to arranging a light diet for the child and enhancing nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
