Question
A 9-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent high fever, diagnosed with red tonsillitis. How should this type of tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment of red tonsillitis typically involves following medical instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, and regional spray or laser therapy may be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to alleviate discomfort. If the fever persists, parents should administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. These methods are common treatment approaches, but if tonsillitis recurs frequently, early surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
