Question
An 8-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms of swallowing pain, hoarseness, fever, and lack of energy, diagnosed with red swelling of the tonsillitis. How should it be treated to achieve the best results?
Answer
For the treatment of red swelling of tonsillitis, it is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a physician to effectively alleviate inflammation. Regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injection of medication can also be considered. Painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort if there is throat pain. Fever symptoms can be controlled with antipyretic medications. If the condition is severe or recurrent and complications have occurred, it is advisable to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to exacerbate symptoms.
