Question
My son is 7 years old and has just started saying that his throat hurts. I noticed that he’s also been coughing quite severely, and now he has a persistent high fever. How can I effectively treat red swelling in a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
For a more effective treatment of tonsillitis, it is recommended to choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, and regional treatments can include laser therapy or drug irrigation. Painkillers can also be administered based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. If the child continues to have a high fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes; if similar situations occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is also important to pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
