Question
A three-year-old boy is experiencing difficulty swallowing and pain, along with persistent fever. What treatment measures should be taken for a child with red, swollen tonsils to achieve good results?
Answer
When treating tonsillitis in children, it is first necessary to select the appropriate antibiotic based on the results of bacterial culture. Local treatments can include medication sprays or laser therapy. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered; for persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should pay attention to this condition, seek medical attention early, and strengthen preventive and health care measures in daily life.
