Question
My child is a 9-year-old boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed a more severe cough, and now has a persistent high fever. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered if the child’s sore throat symptoms are severe. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also administer fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. These are more common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is kept warm and to avoid catching a cold to exacerbate symptoms.
