Question
A six-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, worsening cough, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected of having tonsillitis with red swelling. How should treatment be administered to achieve good results?
Answer
For the treatment of red swelling in pediatric tonsillitis, consider using antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. Regional irrigation or spray treatments, as well as intratonsillar injections of symptomatic drugs, can also be effective. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers may be given as needed. During periods of low-grade fever, it is recommended to use physical methods for temperature reduction. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging reasonable dietary and lifestyle habits to aid in a quicker recovery from the disease.
