Question
A 13-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of a sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and also had a slight fever and lacked energy. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics can be given according to the symptoms, which are usually effective. Additionally, regional medication sprays or laser therapy can also be administered. If the child has a particularly sore throat, painkillers can be considered. If the child continues to have a persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be given. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child is kept warm and to avoid exacerbating symptoms by catching a cold.
