Question
My daughter is 6 years old. She started to feel a sore throat when she spoke, and I noticed she was coughing more severely. Now, she has a persistent high fever. How should red swelling of children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For regional treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation is suggested. In cases of sore throat, painkillers can be administered to the child, and physical cooling methods can be used for low-grade fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe cases or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Pay attention to a light diet during treatment, and mainly consume liquid foods.
