Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. He started to feel a sore throat while speaking, and I noticed he has been coughing quite severely. Additionally, he’s had a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s swollen tonsils effectively?
Answer
For treatment, first, provide the child with symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, and also consider some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are quite effective. In cases of sore throat, you can also give the child some painkillers. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also administer antipyretic medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, consider surgical treatment. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
