Question
A 6-year-old boy, at first, said he had a sore throat, and it was noticed that he was coughing more severely, and he also had a slight fever and seemed lackluster. How should red and swollen tonsillitis in children be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For regional treatment, it is suggested to choose laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation. In necessary cases, such as when the child’s throat pain is particularly severe, some painkillers can be administered. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrence. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
