Question
My son is 8 years old and a baby boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that he was coughing quite severely, and he also had a low-grade fever. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated for the best effect?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are mainly used. Medications can be selected based on bacterial culture to choose sensitive drugs, which have a good effect. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or pharmaceutical irrigation. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, some painkillers are suggested to alleviate symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to undergo surgery as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children well-warmed to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
