Question
A 13-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of a sore throat, noticed that his coughing seemed more severe, and also had a bit of a fever and lacked energy. How should red swelling of infants and toddlers with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injections, and laser therapy. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be given. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. These methods are currently commonly used in treating tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
