Question
A 10-year-old boy, currently in elementary school, has been experiencing a sore throat, severe coughing, and low-grade fever recently. How should red swelling of pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be used in moderation, along with regional treatments such as gargling or direct medication application to enhance efficacy. If the throat pain is severe, pain relievers may be considered. Use fever-reducing medication promptly if fever persists, and if the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be employed. After treatment, it is important to provide light and nutritious food to promote recovery. If the condition frequently recurs, consider surgical treatment to avoid repeated episodes.
