Question
My 5-year-old son is experiencing sore throat, slight cough, and persistent high fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis with swelling be treated?
Answer
Based on the child’s symptoms, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be considered for treatment, along with regional treatments such as rinsing or the application of regional drugs to enhance efficacy. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be used moderately. For persistent high fever, fever reducers can be taken orally to reduce body temperature. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrent attacks. If the condition persists or recurs, consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to early medical treatment and focus on preventive health care in daily life.
