Question
How to treat a child’s tonsillitis with redness? The boy is 3 years old, and initially experienced throat pain, difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a slight fever. What should be done?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered, along with local treatments such as gargling or direct application of medication to enhance effectiveness. If the throat pain is severe, consider using painkillers to relieve symptoms and physical methods for fever reduction. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. If a child has frequent episodes of tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery early on. During the treatment period, keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen symptoms.
