Question
A 13-year-old boy, in elementary school. Initially, he said he felt pain when swallowing, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seemed like he had a low-grade fever that never went away. How should children with red swelling in tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Treatment methods include symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs, local drug sprays, or laser therapy. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used. If fever is present, fever reducers can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible if the fever is high. If the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgery for treatment. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent colds and subsequent tonsillitis inflammation.
