Question
My son is 8 years old. Initially, he said he felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed that he had a slight cough. He also had a bit of a fever and seemed less energetic. How should a child’s swollen tonsils due to pharyngitis be treated?
Answer
For a better treatment of pharyngitis, it is recommended to choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and also consider regional drug sprays or laser therapy. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered according to the situation. If the child still has a fever, some antipyretics can be taken as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the illness is controlled to avoid recurrence. At the same time, pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep habits for your child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
