Question
An 8-year-old girl is experiencing sore throat, worsening cough, and persistent high fever, diagnosed with red and swollen tonsils. How should it be treated?
Answer
For treating red and swollen tonsils in children, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the symptoms. Regional treatments can include laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child’s sore throat is severe, painkillers may be considered. For persistent fever, timely use of fever-reducing medication is necessary. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical coolingmethods can be adopted. In addition to medication, if tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to reasonable dietary and rest habits to promote recovery.
