Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially had a slight sore throat, noticed it, and experienced severe coughing, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should red swelling in infants and young children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered, along with regional treatments such as rinsing to consolidate the efficacy of the treatment. If severe throat pain is present, painkillers can be considered; timely use of fever-reducing medication is necessary for persistent fever. If the condition frequently recurs, surgery may be considered after treatment, while also paying attention to light diet and nutrition supplementation to promote recovery.
