Question
A 10-year-old boy, now in elementary school, has started to feel a sore throat, with severe coughing, a bit of fever, and a lack of energy. How should red swelling of infants and young children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, it is advisable to first administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child and consider regional use of medication sprays or laser therapy. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers may be recommended to alleviate symptoms. Some children may have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If there is no improvement, medical attention is necessary. After controlling the condition, consider surgical treatment to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to ensure adequate nutrition, a light diet, and sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
