Question
My son is 8 years old, and he recently complained of a sore throat, cough, and a high fever. How should red swelling in children with tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
The treatment of red swelling in children with tonsillitis can include the use of anti-inflammatory medications, as well as regional treatment methods such as tonsil pocket irrigation and drug injections. Painkillers may be administered if necessary, and antipyretics should be used promptly. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery. After recovery, it is suggested to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
