Question
A 7-year-old boy has recently been experiencing a sore throat, with difficulty swallowing and accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should red and swollen tonsillitis in children be treated?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to administer some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication to the child based on the doctor’s advice, and regional treatments can also be considered, such as tonsil irrigation or the injection of medication into the tonsils. If the pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. If the child continues to have a fever without improvement, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery may be an option. It is advised that parents take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures.
